Names of Cities/Town in the Bible....

[tribeofjudah]

Which came first: the chicken or the egg...???

I feel that way with names of cities/towns in the bible (sometimes only)

This text talks about DAN, but he came later as the son of Jesse:

Gen 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.

Maybe there is town named Dan as well as a state of Dan...?

Then there is the confusing thing about HARAN the man and Haran the city/town/area:

Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Gen 11:31 ¶ And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

What say you, my brothers......??? There are many other examples, I'm sure.
