Gerzites
Gerzites
Gizrites, or Gerizzites. A Bedouin tribe once dwelling in central Palestine, from whom mount Gerizim took its name, as another mount was named from the Amalekites when dwelling in ancient times in Ephraim (Jdg 12:15). Afterward driven to the southern border of Palestine, where with the Geshurites and Amalekites they were found by David in Saul’s days (1Sa 27:8), rich in “sheep, oxen, asses, camels, and apparel.” Read “Gerizzites.”
