(The Iron II Period)

[Text on the Left Side of the Marker]:

Megiddo became an Israelite city sometime between the 10th and 9th centuries B.C., and functioned as an administrative center for he fertile Jezreel Valley. Some time later, a massive wall (1) and a monumental city-gate (2-4) were built. According to one opinion, the gate dates to the reign of Solomon (10th c. B.C.). Other scholars postdate the gate to the reign of either Ahab (9th c.) or Jeroboam II (8th c. B.C.).

[Text across the Bottom of the Marker]:

"and this is the account of the forced labour which King Solomon levied to build the house of the Lord and his own house and the millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer." ( I Kings 9: 15)
