Geshur (Biblical Hebrew: גְּשׁוּר, romanized: Gəšūr)[1] was a territory in the ancient Levant mentioned in the early books of the Hebrew Bible and possibly in several other ancient sources, located in the region of the modern-day Golan Heights.[2] Some scholars suggest it was established as an independent city-state during the early Iron Age from the middle of the tenth century BCE, maintaining its autonomy for about a century until it was annexed in the third quarter of the eighth century by Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria.[3][4]
