The Bible records that King Solomon built and fortified three key cities—Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer (1 Kings 9:15). Excavations at all three sites uncovered nearly identical six-chamber city gates with the same measurements, layout, and construction style, clearly designed by the same architect and built in the same period. This 3×2 gate design was unknown before Solomon and became standard only after his reign, marking a distinct shift in Israelite urban planning. The match is so precise it leaves little doubt: the Bible’s account of Solomon’s building program aligns exactly with what was found in the ground.
