143:4.1 For more than six hundred years [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews the Jews] of [[Judea]], and later on those of [[Galilee]] also, had been at enmity with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans]. This ill [[feeling]] between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] came about in this way: About seven hundred years B.C., [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritan#Jewish_sources Sargon, king of Assyria], in subduing a [[revolt]] in central [[Palestine]], carried away and into [[captivity]] over twenty-five thousand Jews of the northern kingdom of [[Israel]] and installed in their place an almost [[equal]] number of the descendants of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutha Cuthites], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepharvaim Sepharvites], and the [http://bible.cc/genesis/10-18.htm Hamathites]. Later on, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashurbanipal Ashurbanipal] sent still other colonies to dwell in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria].

143:4.2 The [[religious]] [[enmity]] between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] dated from the return of the former from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity Babylonian captivity], when the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] worked to prevent the rebuilding of [[Jerusalem]]. Later they offended the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] by extending [[friendly]] [[assistance]] to the [[armies]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great Alexander]. In return for their friendship Alexander gave the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] [[permission]] to build a [[temple]] on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Gerizim Mount Gerizim], where they [[worshiped]] [[Yahweh]] and their [[tribal]] gods and offered [[sacrifices]] much after the order of the [[temple]] services at [[Jerusalem]]. At least they continued this [[worship]] up to the time of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees Maccabees], when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hyrcanus John Hyrcanus] destroyed their temple on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Gerizim Mount Gerizim]. The Apostle [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], in his [[labors]] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] after the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_187 death of Jesus], held many meetings on the site of this old Samaritan [[temple]].

143:4.3 The [[antagonism]]s between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans] were time-honored and [[historic]]; increasingly since the days of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great Alexander] they had had no dealings with each other. The [[twelve apostles]] were not averse to [[preaching]] in the [[Greek]] and other [[gentile]] [[cities]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapolis Decapolis] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syria], but it was a severe test of their [[loyalty]] to [[the Master]] when he said, " Let us go into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria]. " But in the year and more they had been with [[Jesus]], they had [[developed]] a form of [[personal]] [[loyalty]] which [[transcended]] even their [[faith]] in his teachings and their [[prejudices]] against the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans Samaritans].
