He believed that God had promised him an inheritance in the region.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

Abraham didn't establish any settlement:

"...even when he reached the land God promised him, HE LIVED THERE BY FAITH - for he was like a foreigner, LIVING IN A TENT. And so did Isaac and Jacob, to whom God gave the same promise. Abraham did this because he was CONFIDENTLY LOOKING FORWARD to a City [the Holy City, New Jerusalem - see Rev.21:2-3] with Eternal Foundations, a City Designed and Built by God [the gospel {good news} of the coming Kingdom of God - see Matt.13:28]." (Heb.11:9-10 NLT New Living Translation)

"...these Faithful ones DIED WITHOUT RECEIVING WHAT GOD HAD PROMISED THEM, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed the Promises of God. They agreed that they were no more than foreigners and nomads here on earth." (verse 13)

"All of these people we have mentioned received God's approval BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH, yet NONE OF THEM RECEIVED ALL THAT GOD HAD PROMISED. For God had far better things in mind for us that would also benefit them, for they can't receive the Prize at the end of the race until WE FINISH THE RACE." (verses 39-40)

Nothing has been "settled" yet... until Jesus Christ returns to establish His promised Kingdom on the earth for Abraham and his Faithful descendants.
