Geshur, Geshurites

VIEW:35 DATA:01-04-2020
GESHUR, GESHURITES.—A small Aramæan tribe, whose territory, together with that of Maacah (wh. see), formed the W. border of Bashan (Deu_3:14, Jos_12:6; Jos_13:11). The Geshurites were not expelled by the half-tribe of Manasseh, to whom their land had been allotted (Jos_13:13), and were still ruled by an independent king in the reign of David, who married the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur (2Sa_3:3). After the murder of his half-brother Amnon, Absalom took refuge with his maternal grandfather in ‘Geshur of Aram’ (2Sa_13:37; 2Sa_15:8). Geshur and Maacah were probably situated in the modern Jaulân, if they are not to be identified with it. In 1Ch_2:23 Geshur and Aram are said to have taken the ‘tent-villages’ of Jair from the Israelites. On the strength of Jos_13:2 and 1Sa_27:8, it has been maintained that there was another tribe of this name in the neighbourhood of the Philistines; but the evidence in support of this view is very precarious.
