[GERZITES
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Ancient Canaanite city and its inhabitants. It was taken by Joshua, and allotted to Ephraim, and afterward to the Kohathites (1 Chron. 6:67; 1 Chron. 7:28); but the ancient inhabitants held possession. It was taken and burnt by Pharaoh as a Canaanitish city, and the site given to his daughter whom Solomon had married. Solomon rebuilt the city (Josh. 10:33; Josh. 12:12; Josh. 16:3,10; Josh. 21:21; Judg. 1:29; 1 Sam. 27:8; 1 Kings 9:15-17). It is called GAZER (2 Sam. 5:25; 1 Chron. 14:16). Compare 1 Chronicles 20:4 with 2 Samuel 21:18-19, GAZER in the former passage refers to GOB in the latter. Gezer is identified with ruins at Tell Jezar, 31° 52' N, 34° 55' E.
