In much the same way that modern Christians try to please their God, the Sumerians pleased their gods in order to bring good fortune upon themselves. They accepted the priests as their religious leaders because they were intermediaries between the people and the gods.

The word Sumerian is not written in biblical texts

You might be referring to Samaria which is the reference name given for the 10 Northern tribes of Israel. That name is associated with the acts of King Jeroboam, king of the Tribes of Israel after they were split (after Solomon). You will read of the sin of Samaria in 1 kings 12:28-33, the worshiping of the two golden calves.
