Abstract in brief

The text discusses the archaeological significance of Gezer, an ancient city in the southern Levant, highlighting its historical mentions in Egyptian, Biblical, and Assyrian sources and its association with notable figures and events.
Recent archaeological work at Gezer, including radiocarbon dating and Bayesian analysis, provides new chronological data covering from the Late Bronze Age to Iron Age II, allowing for more accurate dating of the site’s remains.
These findings enable researchers to better understand Gezer’s history, assess existing historical connections, and contribute to broader debates about the chronology of the Philistines and Iron Age in the region.]

4.Eski ahitte geçen süleyman kapıları(1.krallar 9:15 ) ilk olarak gezer ile başlıyalım. Gezerde yapılan kazılar ve radyokarbon tarihlemeleri bu yapıtların açıkça süleyman zamanında yapıldığını ispatlamıştır. https://t.co/pSl8RgRkMa https://t.co/N8Fl0l91gb
