Geshurites

  1. The inhabitants of Geshur. They maintained friendly relations with the Israelites on the east of Jordan (Josh. 12:5, 13:11, 13).
  2. Another aboriginal people of Palestine who inhabited the south-west border of the land. Geshuri in Josh. 13:2 should be "the Geshurite," not the Geshurites mentioned in ver. 11, 13, but the tribe mentioned in 1 Sam. 27:8.
