Here "kingdom" refers to those who live in the kingdom. Alternate translation: "A kingdom will not last if its people fight among themselves"

# every city or house divided against itself will not stand
|

Here "city" refers to the people who live there, and "house" refers to a family. Being "divided against itself" represents its people fighting each other. Alternate translation: "it ruins a city or a family when the people fight each other"
