Samaria served as a seat of kings of Israel such as Ahab and Ahaziah. The false prophet Belchira, of the family of Zedekiah and connected to Samaria, fled as a youth to Jerusalem during the reign of Hezekiah. Elijah reproved Ahaziah and Samaria, foretelling its delivery into the hand of Leba Nasr. Alagar Zagar of Assyria later captured the city and led the nine and a half tribes away captive.

David removed the Tabernacle from Samaria to Jerusalem with rejoicing. After gathering at Samaria of Beth Efrata the house of Israel chose a king, styling him King of Israel while naming Rehoboam King of Judah. Jeremiah died in Samaria and was buried in Jerusalem.
