Omri buys the hill Samaria of Shemer, builds a city on it, and calls it Samaria

오므리가 세멜에게서 사마리아산을 사고 성을 건축하여 사마리아라 일컬음

1 Kings 16:23–28: in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri begins to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah. He buys the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he builds on the hill, and calls the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill. Omri does that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and deals wickedly above all who were before him. For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. The text says, “Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?” So Omri sleeps with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigns in his place. Where WEB reads “the hill Samaria”, the Korean Revised Version reads 사마리아산.
