In New Testament times Samaria had shrunk to still smaller dimensions. Then the country West of the Jordan was divided into three portions: Judea in the South, Galilee in the North, and Samaria in the middle. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.

The boundaries are given in general terms by Josephus (BJ, III, iii, 1, 4, 5). The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.
