And he bought the hill of Samaria of Shemer, for two talents of silver,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer - This should be read, He bought the hill of Shomeron from Shomer, and called it Shomeron, (i.e., Little Shomer), after the name of Shomer, owner of the hill. At first the kings of Israel dwelt at Shechem, and then at Tirzah; but this place having suffered much in the civil broils, and the place having been burnt down by Zimri, Omri purposed to found a new city, to which he might transfer the seat of government.

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed

First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.
Commentary on 1 Kings 16:321 voice
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. That he might not go so far as Tyre or Zidon; and for his wife's convenience also he built a temple in Samaria for Baal, and erected an altar there to offer sacrifices upon it unto him; so open and daring was he in his idolatrous practices.

- 1 Kings 22:51
In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
Commentary on 1 Kings 22:511 voice
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah,.... It is observed, that Jehoshaphat began to reign in the fourth year of Ahab, and Ahab reigned twenty two years, see 1Ki 22:41, and therefore Ahab's son must begin to reign in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat; but perhaps he was made king in his father's lifetime, before he went on his expedition to Ramothgilead, or Ahab's reign was not twenty two years complete: and reigned two years over Israel; not complete, as appears from 2Ki 3:1.

Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: ‘About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel.’”
Commentary on 2 Kings 7:11 voice
You will also find similar things in the times of Elisha, when the son of Jader, king of Syria, came up against Samaria and besieged it. "And there was a great famine in Samaria for so long," Scripture says, "that a donkey's head became worth fifty shekels of silver and a quarter of pigeon dung five pieces of silver." But suddenly an amazing change occurs through the word of the prophet, who says, "Hear the word of the Lord.

Commentary on 2 Kings 13:61 voice
Nevertheless, they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked therein,....
