Samaria, or the Shomron ( Arabic ?????????, Samariyyun or ???????, as-Samarah – also known as ???? ?????, Jibal Nablus; Hebrew ??????????, Standard Šom?ron Tiberian Šom?rôn; Greek Saµ??e?a) is a term used for a mountainous region roughly corresponding to the northern part of the West Bank. The name "Samaria" derives from an ancient city of the same name, which was located near the south of Samaria, and was the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. According to 1 Kings 1624, it is derived from the individual [or clan] Shemer, from whom Omri purchased the site. To the north, Samaria is bounded by the Jezreel Valley; to the east by the Jordan Rift Valley; to the west by the Carmel Ridge (in the north) and the Sharon plain (in the west); to the south by the Jerusalem mountains. In Biblical times, Samaria "reached from the [Mediterranean] sea to the Jordan Valley",[1] including the Carmel Ridge and Plain of Sharon. The Samarian hills are not very high, seldom reaching the height of over 800 meters. Samaria's climate is more hospitable than the climate further south. The modern history of Samaria begins when the territory of Samaria, formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, was entrusted to the United Kingdom to administer in the aftermath of World War I as a British Mandate of Palestine, by the League of Nations. As a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the territory was unilaterally incorporated as Jordanian-controlled territory and residents would later receive Jordanian passports. The areas of Samaria and Judea conquered by Jordan were renamed the West Bank (of the Jordan river). [2]

Both of Crete's international airports are situated on the north coast and two high mountain ranges running east-west, form a natural barrier to mass tourism reaching the south coast. In ...

April 23, 2006
April 23, 2006
Psa 119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
If you have never felt the pangs of intense thirst, I don’t know if you can realize the intensity of “panting”. Panting is a term generally used for animals such as a hart, or even a dog.
From the very beginning, man was to subdue and have dominion over the animals of the earth (Gen 1:28). Just as the animals are dominated by man and are dependant on his mercy and care, so we are dominated by God and are dependant on His mercy and care. Compared to God’s omnipotence, omniscience, a...
