Samaria was the capital of Israel’s northern kingdom, where King Jehoahaz continued Jeroboam’s idolatrous policies. Syria, centered northeast of Israel, oppressed Israel militarily in this period; Moab, east of the Dead Sea, was a neighboring people but is not directly involved in this verse’s immediate account.
