Overview

""Samaria in Ahab's Time"" offers a detailed historical and archaeological examination of the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel during one of its most significant eras. This scholarly work investigates the reign of King Ahab and the Omride dynasty, exploring the socio-political landscape and the architectural developments of the city of Samaria during the 9th century BCE.
