I. GESHUR. There is a people of this name bordering upon the Philistins and Amalekites, mentioned in Joshua, and in the first book of Samuel. Their habitation was between the countries of the Philistins and Egypt. But as this country, which was of old inhabited, was afterwards reduced to a wilderness, as the Scripture shews us; we cannot with any certainty describe the situation of the Geshurites.
