Jerusalem
Jerusalem was the first capital of the Israelites after it was captured by King David in about 1000 BCE. It remained the capital of Judah (after whom the Jews are named) and stayed the capital even after the Roman conquests, temporarily being renamed Aelia Capitolina. Prior to the capture of Jerusalem, the United Kingdom of Israel was ruled from Shiloh and later Hebron. After the split of Israel and Judah, Jerusalem remained the capital of Judah and Samaria became the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
Yes. Samaria was the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel. (Gibeah, Hebron, and Jerusalem were the capitals of the United Kingdom of Israel.)
The Northern Kingdom of Israel had a capital at Samaria, but the current capital of Israel is Jerusalem.
The northern and southern kingdoms of Israel divided around 930 BC, after the death of King Solomon. This division was a result of political and religious tensions between the tribes of Israel. The northern kingdom became known as Israel, with Samaria as its capital, while the southern kingdom became known as Judah, with Jerusalem as its capital.

There was not an Israelite empire. There was the kingdom of Israel. David, its founder, established Jerusalem as its capital .
David eventually became king over all Israel, and he transferred his capital from Hebron to Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 5:1-9)
David's capital city was Jerusalem. He captured the city from the Jebusites and established it as the political and spiritual center of his kingdom around 1000 BCE. Jerusalem became significant not only as the capital but also as the site for the future Temple built by his son Solomon. This location played a crucial role in the history of Israel and Judaism.
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.
