KJV - 1 Kings 9:16

For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, captured and destroyed Gezer by burning it down and killing the people living there. He then gave the city as a gift to his daughter, who was married to Solomon.
