📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of the divided kingdom, King Omri of Israel came to power after a period of instability and conflict among rival kings. He purchased the hill of Samaria from a man named Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city there, which he named after the seller, establishing it as the new capital of the northern kingdom. This event marked a shift in Israel's political landscape, as Samaria later became a center of both prosperity and idolatry in the nation's history.
