 Penuel
    face of God, a place not far from Succoth, on the east of the
    Jordan and north of the river Jabbok. It is also called
    "Peniel." Here Jacob wrestled (Gen. 32:24-32) "with a man" ("the
    angel", Hos. 12:4. Jacob says of him, "I have seen God face to
    face") "till the break of day."
      A town was afterwards built there (Judg. 8:8; 1 Kings 12:25).
    The men of this place refused to succour Gideon and his little
    army when they were in pursuit of the Midianites (Judg. 8:1-21).
    On his return, Gideon slew the men of this city and razed its
    lofty watch-tower to the ground.
