In biblical texts, a people or tribe mentioned as inhabitants of ancient Canaan and surrounding regions during biblical times.
From biblical Hebrew, likely related to the geographical region Geshur; the suffix -ites follows the convention of naming peoples by their ancestral region or founder.
The Geshurites appear in the Bible as neighbors of Israel, and archaeological evidence suggests they occupied territories in what's now Syria and the Golan Heights—proving biblical names often mapped real ancient peoples.
