A:After they conquered Israel, the assyrians named this territory Samaria (or Samarina), after the principal city of Samaria. Thus, Samaria was the successor state to Israel, which was formerly part of the land The Bible refers to as Canaan. Strictly speaking, there was never a single nation of Canaan, but a region of allied West Semitic city-states.
