A small Aramean kingdom east of the Sea of Galilee
East of JordanA small kingdom on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee in the Golan Heights. David married Maacah, daughter of the king of Geshur — making it a political alliance. Their son Absalom fled to Geshur for three years after murdering his brother Amnon (2 Samuel 13:37-38). The territory was never fully conquered by Israel despite being within the promised boundaries.
