1 definition found

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
