The Siege of Gezer (c.733 BC) refers to a successful siege of the city known as Gezer, 20 miles west of Jerusalem, 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,.[1] The city was probably captured by the Assyrians at the end of the campaign of Tiglath-Pileser III to Canaan.
Recent archaeological excavation at the site reveal that not long after the city fell into Assyrian hands it become an Assyrian administrative center.
