Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from גְּשׁוּר (Geshur), a region or territory.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term גְּשׁוּרִי (Geshuri) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The term "Geshurite" refers to the people or inhabitants of the region of Geshur, a small Aramean kingdom located in the northeastern part of the land of Israel, near Bashan and the Sea of Galilee.

Context: The Geshurites were a people group mentioned in the Old Testament, primarily associated with the region of Geshur. This territory was located in the northeastern part of ancient Israel, bordering the land of Bashan and near the Sea of Galilee. The Geshurites are noted in the biblical narrative as being among the peoples who were not expelled by the Israelites during their conquest of the Promised Land.

In the Bible, Geshur is most notably mentioned in connection with King David. David married Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, and she bore him Absalom and Tamar (2 Samuel 3:3). This alliance through marriage indicates a period of peaceful relations between Israel and Geshur. However, after Absalom killed his brother Amnon, he fled to his maternal grandfather in Geshur and stayed there for three years (2 Samuel 13:37-38).

The Geshurites are also mentioned in the context of the territorial boundaries of Israel. In Joshua 13:13, it is noted that the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites, and they continued to live among the Israelites. This coexistence is indicative of the complex relationships between the Israelites and the surrounding nations during the period of the Judges and the early monarchy.
