1. Gezer (place name) — An important Canaanite city-state later incorporated into Israel, situated on the border between the coastal plain and the Judean foothills. The three clusters are purely prepositional variants of the same toponym: bare/construct form (10x), with preposition beth 'in Gezer' (4x), and a standalone spelling variant 'Gazer' (1x). All translations confirm a single place name: Spanish 'Gezer/Guézer', Hindi 'गेजेर' (Gejer), Arabic 'جَازَرَ/جَزَرَ' (Jazara/Jazara), Korean '게셀' (Gesel), Swahili 'Gezeri'. Appears in Joshua 10:33, 12:12, 16:3,10, 21:21; Judges 1:29; 2 Samuel 5:25; 1 Kings 9:15-17; 1 Chronicles 6:67, 7:28, 14:16, 20:4 as a strategically located city given to Solomon by Pharaoh. 15×
