What was the capital of Israel while Israel was divided?
After the Kingdom of Israel split into the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the South Kingdom of Judah, there was a rapid succession of capitals in the North. The capitals of the North included: Shechem (now called Nablus), Penuel, and Tirzah, before settling on Samaria (Shomron). Jerusalem remained the capital of Judah up until the Babylonian Exile and during the Hasmonean Kingdom. Jerusalem is the current capital of the State of Israel although most nations refuse to officially recognize it as such because of its disputed status and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv.
What are the regions that surround Samaria and what were they called?
The city of Samaria was originally the capital of the northern Hebrew kingdom, Israel. At one stage, probably during the reigns of Kings Ahab and Omri, Israel extended its territory north into what is now Syria, east into present-day Jordan and westwards to the Mediterranean Sea. However, this expansion was shortlived, and soon the Assyrians reduced Israel to the city of Samaria and a small territory surrounding the city.After the final conquest of Israel in 722 BCE, the former kingdom became the Assyrian province of Samaria. Large numbers of Israelites were deported or fled to Judah and Egypt, while the Assyrians repopulated the region with people from other conquered lands. Eventually the people of Samaria became known as Samarians, or Samaritans.During the early Roman period, as in the first century CE, Judea was to the south of Samaria, with Idumea to its south, Perea was east of Samaria, Decapolis to the east-northeast, with Galilee and Phoenicia to the north.

Where did the Samaritans originate?
A simple web search or glance through an encyclopedia will tell that Samaritans came from the ancient city Samaria, located in an area which was called Canaan until Christians and Muslims began calling it...Palestine.So I guess the simplest to your question would be: Samaritans were from Palestine.FYI -King Omri built Samaria in about 800 B.C. and made it the capital of the kingdom of Israel.In 331 B.C., the city fell to Alexander the Great.Saint John the Baptist is allegedly buried in Samaria.-- The term "Palestine" is far older than Christians and Muslims - it was the Roman name for the province, ruled by Herod, containing what is now Israel (and much more). BTW, Zionist publications before WWII and the creation of the state of Israel refered to the Jews living there as "Palestinians"!The word Palestine comes from L. Palestina (name of a Roman province), from Gk. Palaistine (Herodotus), from Heb. Pelesheth "Philistia, land of the Philistines."
