GERZI. It is said in Scripture, that David during his abode at Ziklag, made inroads upon the land of Geshuri, Gerzi, and Amalek. I find nothing in the Geographers relating to the Gerzites. The Septuagint have not the word in their Text; they read only Gesiri instead of Geshuri, and in some copies Geseri and Gesræum. The Syriac and Arabic read Gessua and Gedola.
