The Geshurites were a people who dwelt in the desert between Arabia and Philistia (Joshua 13:2 [A. V. "Geshuri"]); 1 Samuel 27:8; in the latter citation the Geshurites are mentioned together with the Gezerites and Amalekites, each of whose areas were attacked by David and his men who "did not leave a man or woman alive" 1 Samuel 27:9, in order that there would be none to tell the Philistine king Achish, whose protection David was under, that David was raiding against them, rather than the against Israelites as he claimed 1 Samuel 27:11.
