Gezer

a precipice, an ancient royal Canaanitish city [Jos 10:33 ; Jos 12:12 ]. It was allotted with its suburbs to the Kohathite Levites [Jos 21:21 ; 1Krøn 6:67 ]. It stood between the lower Beth-horon and the sea [Jos 16:3 ; 1Kong 9:17 ]. It was the last point to which David pursued the Philistines [2Sam 5:25 ; 1Krøn 14:16 ] after the battle of Baal-perazim. The Canaanites retained possession of it till the time of Solomon, when the king of Egypt took it and gave it to Solomon as a part of the dowry of the Egyptian princess whom he married [1Kong 9:15 -17]. It is identified with Tell el-Jezer, about 10 miles south-west of Beth-horon. It is mentioned in the Amarna tablets.
