'Settlements' in the Bible

and all their villages that were around the same cities as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they have their genealogy.

Their possessions and settlements were Bethel with its towns, and to the east Naaran, and to the west Gezer with its towns, and Shechem with its towns as far as Ayyah with its towns,

Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices,The settlements where Kedar inhabits.Let the inhabitants of Sela sing aloud,Let them shout for joy from the tops of the mountains.
