'Cities' in the Bible

Some time later, David inquired of the LORD to ask, "Am I to move to any one of the cities of Judah?" The LORD told him, "Go." So David asked, "To which one?" He replied, "To Hebron."

David brought his army with him, each soldier accompanied by his household, and they settled in the cities of Hebron.

He also confiscated a vast quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, cities under Hadadezer's control.

Be strong, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what he thinks is best."

So David told Abishai, "Now Bichri's son Sheba is about to do more damage than did Absalom. So take my personal guards and go after them. Otherwise, he'll run to one of the fortified cities and escape from us."
