Girgashites

Facts:

The Girgashites were a people group living near the Sea of Galilee in the land of Canaan.

They were descendants of Ham's son Canaan and so were one of the many people groups who were also known as "Canaanites."
God promised the Israelites that he would help them defeat the Girgashites and other Canaanite people groups.
Like all the Canaanite peoples, the Girgashites worshiped false gods and did immoral things as part of that worship.
