First, we're gonna have to travel back to the 9th century B.C. During the reign of Solomon, a servant of his, Jeroboam, was told that he would become king because Solomon started to worship his wives' gods. When Rehoboam, Solomon's son, came to the throne, he made the people of Israel suffer so bad that they favored Jeroboam more than Rehoboam. Of course, seeing this, Rehoboam feared that Jeroboam would take the kingdom from him. So, Rehoboam ordered that Jeroboam be captured. Jeroboam fled, and soon after, Israel split. Ten tribes plus half of Levi made Jeroboam their king; and Benjamin, Judah, and the other half stayed with David's descendants. The ten and a half tribes became Israel or the Northern Kingdom, and the rest became Judah or the Southern Kingdom.

Now, let's go to 721 B.C.; in Israel, Hoshea is king-- but not for long. The Assyrian army attack Israel, conquer it, and take its people. Now, here's something you should know about the Assyrians. They had been conquering a lot of nations before they took Israel. So, they actually had a lot of people from other nations as subordinates. They would also adopt various forms of intelligence from their captives, such as mathematics, architecture, science, and even battle stratagems. Once a nation was conquered, they'd leave their captives to recolonize the area. They'd also leave some of the people of the conquered nation to learn from the Assyrian colonists. These people were free, but a revolt was utterly futile. Also, foreigners were allowed to reside in these new Assyrian colonies. When they took Israel, they left people from all over the Assyrian world with some Israelites to repopulate the area. Over the course of months and then years, a large influx of foreigners flocked to the now destroyed Israelite kingdom, which they called Samaria. "But why Samaria?", you may ask. Samaria became the capital of the Northern kingdom when Ahab was king. His palace was actually in Samaria. Also, the Israelites in Samaria intermarried with the pagan foreigners. That is why they were referred to as "Gentiles" and "half-breeds."

About a century later, King Nebuchadnezzar attacked the Southern Kingdom, after the Assyrian army tried to conquer Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah and failed. Nebuchadnezzar launched three attacks: one in 603 B.C., the next in 600 B.C., and the final and successful in 598 B.C. During his conquest, Nebuchadnezzar placed three puppet kings: Jehoakim, Jehoachin, and Zedekiah. The first two rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, and as a result, they were executed. As prophesied by Jeremiah, the city was burned, including the grandiose temple Solomon constructed (but Jeremiah hid the Ark of the Covenant...no one knows where). The Jews (literally) were exiled into Babylon, where, according to Jeremiah's prophecy, they would stay for 70 years. Once the time had expired, they would return to their homeland.

I looked this up with my parents and this is what I found out.
After Solomon died, the United Monarchy split into Israel (aka Samaria/Northern Kingdom) and Judah. Because of Jeroboam, the first king, every Northern Kingdom king worshipped idols and other Canaanite gods, like Baal. These are mentioned in the bible as "the way of Jeroboam." God sent prophets like Elijah, Elisha, Iddo, Ahijah, and Amos, but they still worshipped other gods, so God allowed the kingdom to be destroyed by Assyria. The Samaritans (who today are a very tiny community in Modern Israel) are descended from the Northern Israelites who weren't taken into exile after the Assyrians captured Samaria. Many moved south to Judah, and stayed there after God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to conquer Jerusalem. After Cyrus conquered Babylon, he allowed exiles to go back to their homelands. Two of of those exiles were Ezra and Nehemiah, who separated the descendants of Judah that returned from exile from the local Samaritans that never left and said they were foreigners that would lead them back into sin.10 Ezra forced Jewish men to divorce their Samaritan wives, and Nehemiah did this again with priests who had married Samaritan women, which they both thought was the right thing. One of the biggest things they disagreed on was where to worship. The Samaritans have their own temple and their own holy mountain. The place they worship is called Mount Gerizim, in Shechem, instead of Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Mount Gerizim was blessed by Moses, and according to their version of the Books of Moses, he commanded the Israelites to build an altar there. In our Bibles, Moses said to build the altar on Mount Ebal. According to Joshua, there might have been a sanctuary there too. So the Samaritans kept worshipping there, instead of at Jerusalem, where Jews worshipped at the Second Temple. Their temple was built shortly after the Second Temple in Jerusalem, but the Jews destroyed it almost 100 years before the time of Jesus because their High Priest told them to. It's really sad the way they were treated. In John 4:21, the Samaritan asks Jesus if she should worship in Jerusalem or in Shechem. Jesus told her it didn't matter because God cares more about how we worship than where. |

Jesus told her it didn't matter because God cares more about how we worship than where. That's basically it. But Samaritans were the results of Israelites and Jews intermarrying with pagan nations because of the Assyrian conquest. After the Assyrians conquered a nation, they would leave captives from previous conquests and some people of that nation to rebuild the city under their power, thus aggrandizing their nation. That is why Jews called Samaritans "interbreeds" and "Gentile dogs". |
