'Strongholds' in the Bible

And he will turn back his face toward the strongholds of his land, but he will stumble and he will fall and will not be found.

And he will deal with [the] {fortified strongholds} with [the help of] {a foreign god}; and he will increase wealth for whoever will acknowledge [him], and he will cause them to rule over the many, and he will distribute land for a price.
