Ancient Judah and Samaria were regions located in the area that is now modern-day Israel and the West Bank. Judah was situated in the southern part of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, with its capital in Jerusalem. Samaria, in contrast, was located to the north of Judah and served as the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel. Both regions were significant in biblical history and played key roles in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible.

Why the name Israel instead of Judah?

When the state was first established, the people who established it were strictly secularists, and there was a militant "rebellion against the past." The name "Judah" is a bit too ancient sounding, too archaic. Israel is ancient too, but it is nowhere near as archaic sounding. In the actual ancient times, when the unified Kingdom of David split into the northern Kingdom of Israel, and the southern Kingdom of Judah, the northern kingdom was renamed "Israel" to rebel against the rule of the tribe of Judah. The northern Israelites, had rejected Judaism in favor of pagan worship, religious split is what caused the division.
