WHO WHERE THE SAMARITANS?
Source: Blue Letter Bible

Certain people from the nation of Israel stayed behind. These people intermarried with the Assyrians producing the Samaritans.
The Jews Had No Dealings With Them.
Yahusha Hameshiach made the acception...

We are told that the Jews - Hebrews had no dealings with the Samaritans. In a conversation that Jesus (Yahusha Hameshiach) had with a Samaritan woman.

The Samaritans were a group of people who lived in Samaria - an area north of Jerusalem. They were half-Jews and half-Gentiles. When Assyria captured the northern kingdom of Israel in 721 B.C. some were taken in captivity while others left behind. The ones left behind intermarried with the Assyrians. Thus these people were neither fully Hebrews nor fully Gentiles. The Samaritans had their own unique copy of the first five books of Scripture as well as their own unique system of worship. At the time of Jesus (Yahusha Hameshiach) the Jews and the Samaritans did not deal with one another. Jesus (Yahusha Hameshiach) however, ministered to the people of Samaria preaching the good news to them.
