- Gezer:
- Gezer was situated on the confines of Ephraim and Manasseh, between Beth-horon and the sea; and is evidently the village of Gazara mentioned by Eusebius, four miles (north) from Nicopolis or Emmaus. "The kingª of Eglon,ª one;ª the kingª of Gezer,ª one;ª" {Jsh 12:12} + "And goeth downª° westwardª to¹ the coastª of Japhleti,ª unto¹ the coastª of Bethhoronª the nether,ª and to¹ Gezer:ª and the goings outª thereof are¹ at the sea.ª" {Jsh 16:3} + "And they drave not outª°¹¹ the Canaanitesª that dweltª° in Gezer:ª but the Canaanitesª dwellª° amongª the Ephraimitesª unto¹ this¹ day,ª and serveª° under tribute.ª" {Jsh 16:10} + "For they gaveª° them¹ Shechemª with¹ her suburbsª in mountª Ephraim,ª [to be]¹ a cityª of refugeª for the slayer;ª° and Gezerª with¹ her suburbs,ª" {Jsh 21:21} + "Neither¹ did Ephraimª drive outª°¹ the Canaanitesª that dweltª° in Gezer;ª but the Canaanitesª dweltª° in Gezerª amongª them." {Jdg 1:29} + "[For] Pharaohª kingª of Egyptª had gone up,ª° and takenª°¹ Gezer,ª and burntª° it with fire,ª and slainª° the Canaanitesª that dweltª° in the city,ª and givenª° it [for] a presentª unto his daughter,ª Solomon'sª wife.ª ... And Solomonª builtª°¹ Gezer,ª and Bethhoronª the nether,ª" {1Kg 9:16-17} + "And they gaveª° unto them, [of]¹ the citiesª of refuge,ª¹ Shechemª in mountª Ephraimª with her suburbs;ª [they gave] also Gezerª with her suburbs,ª" {1Ch 6:67} + "And it came to pass¹ after¹ this,²¹ that there aroseª° warª at Gezerª with¹ the Philistines;ª at which timeª Sibbechaiª the Hushathiteª slewª°¹ Sippai,ª [that was] of the childrenª¹ of the giant:ª and they were subdued.ª°" {1Ch 20:4}
