'City' in the Bible

Wisdom given as strength to a wise person is better than having ten powerful men in the city.

So I watched the wicked being entombed. They used to come in and out of the Holy Place, but now they are forgotten in the city, where they used to work. This, too, is pointless.

There was a little city with few men in it. A great king came against it, surrounded it, and built massive siege ramps against it.

Now there was found within it a poor, but wise man. He delivered the city by his wisdom, but not one person remembered that poor man.
