It was known for its strategic location and its interactions with Israel, especially through marriage alliances. The kingdom of Geshur was significant due to its political and familial ties with King David, as David married Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur. This alliance is indicative of the political strategies employed by ancient Near Eastern monarchies to secure peace and strengthen their influence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
