Jpatt; my understanding has always been that at that time Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel; that in 724BC king Hoshea of Israel rebelled against Assyrians, and that in 721 the Assyrians finally succeeded in overcoming the city, thus ending Israel’s life as an independent entity. When the region regained a degree of independence later in history, it was as Samaria; but at the time of the Assyrian conquest it was Israel.[[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 18:19, 3 November 2008 (EST)
