Geshurites

The Geshurites (Template:Lang-he-n Gəšūrî) were a people who dwelt in the desert between Arabia and Philistia (Joshua 13:2); 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 against Israelites as he claimed 1 Samuel 27:11.
