- Siege of Gezer (c.733 BC)
The Siege of Gezer (c.733 BC) refers to a successful siege of the city known as Gezer, depicted on a stone relief at the Assyrian royal palace in Nimrud, where the city is called 'Gazru'. The siege was conducted by the great Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III, who was one of the greatest generals and warriors in history, between 734-732 BCE, [cite book | last = Ehrlich | first = Carl S | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The Philistines in Transition: A History from Ca. 1000-730 B.C.E. | publisher = Brill Academic Publishers | date = November 1996 | location = | pages = 192-193 | url = http://books.google.com/books?id=B2eNV68WU3YC&pg=PA193&dq=gezer+tiglath-pileser&ei=OYU-SLWkHqHQjgH1n5SRCA&client=firefox-a&sig=rTXEi2eO3PNzrd1a7cCHuYm9F7U | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-9004104266 ] .

Recent archaeological excavation at the site reveal that not long after the city fell into Assyrian hands it become an Assyrian administrative center.
