Geshur

[3] Geshur is identified with the area stretching along the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee and reaching south to the Yarmuk River,[2] in what is now called the Golan Heights.

[8] Some scholars believe the inscription on the broken statue of Shalmaneser III that describes cities captured by him may include the phrase "the Geshurite seized my feet.

[8] Archaeologists tend to agree that the capital of the kingdom was situated at et-Tell, a place also inhabited on a lesser scale during the first centuries BCE and CE and sometimes identified with the town of Bethsaida of New Testament fame.

[8] Tell Hadar is a small site located on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee which archaeological surveys have revealed as containing architectural features distinct from those of ancient Israel.

[11] This small Iron I-IIa settlement located southeast of Galilee near the Yarmuk River may have marked the southern border of the kingdom.

[12] In 2020, a dig supervised by the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered a massive fortress dating to Iron Age I in the vicinity of Haspin.

[13] According to Sugimoto (2015), the Iron Age IB (mid-eleventh century BC) cities in this northeastern region of the Sea of Galilee likely reflect the activities of the Kingdom of Geshur.
