In 1 Chronicles 7:28, Gezer and Shechem are listed as part of Ephraim's inheritance — the same cities given to Levites here.

In Joshua 20:7, Shechem is designated a city of refuge — explaining why this city was given to the Levites as a sacred haven.

In Joshua 21:21, Shechem is given to the Kohathite Levites as a city of refuge — directly parallel to the list in 1 Chronicles.

In Joshua 16:10, the Canaanites in Gezer were not driven out — contrasting with its later status as a Levitical city.

In Joshua 10:33, the king of Gezer came to help Lachish and was defeated — another conquest account of Gezer.

In Joshua 12:12, the king of Gezer is listed among defeated kings — providing the conquest background for Gezer's later assignment to Levites.

In 1 Kings 9:16, Pharaoh captures Gezer and gives it as dowry to Solomon's wife, then Solomon rebuilds it — showing its later history.
