'City' in the Bible

Wisdom gives a wise person more protection than ten rulers in a city.

Not only that, but I have seen the wicked approaching and entering the temple, and as they left the holy temple, they boasted in the city that they had done so. This also is an enigma.

There was once a small city with a few men in it, and a mighty king attacked it, besieging it and building strong siege works against it.

However, a poor but wise man lived in the city, and he could have delivered the city by his wisdom, but no one listened to that poor man.
