ge.zer is a proper place-name used for a city and its surrounding territorial setting in biblical narratives.

The noun functions consistently as a proper place-name: it marks a city in boundary and settlement descriptions, identifies its inhabitants and king in conflict accounts, and names a site captured and later built by rulers.

   The supplied forms are parsed as Noun · Proper and identify a location in several settings. In Joshua 16:3 the APB renders a boundary reaching “as far as Gezer”; in Joshua 16:10 it describes Canaanites dwelling there; in Joshua 10:33 it names the city whose king came to help Lachish; and in 1 Kings 9:16 it is the city Pharaoh captured and burned.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the proper noun as “Gezer,” whether it occurs in a boundary, a list of settlements, military action, or royal construction. In 1 Chronicles 6:52, however, the supplied APB text does not visibly render the proper-noun form, so that verse does not isolate its English contribution.
