When was Gezer captured by Tiglath-pileser III?

Several dates for the fall of Gezer to the Assyrian army during its three-year campaign to Syria-Palestine (734-732 BCE) are current in historical studies. The judgement that 732 is inferrable from the placement of the depiction of Gezer's capture above a cuneiform text reporting battles in that year is shown to be an erroneous deduction. A more likely date is 734, the year of the military actions in Philistia.
