'Countries' in the Bible

Then David's reputation spread through all of the neighboring countries, and the LORD caused all nations to be afraid of David.

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
