 Geshur
    bridge, the name of a district or principality of Syria near
    Gilead, between Mount Hermon and the Lake of Tiberias (2 Sam.
    15:8; 1 Chr. 2:23). The Geshurites probably inhabited the rocky
    fastness of Argob, the modern Lejah, in the north-east corner of
    Bashan. In the time of David it was ruled by Talmai, whose
    daughter he married, and who was the mother of Absalom, who fled
    to Geshur after the murder of Amnon (2 Sam. 13:37).
