Bible Verses About Penuel: 1. Called Peniel, city built where Jacob wrestled with the angel

As the sun rose upon him he went on past P'ni-El, limping at the hip.

From there he went up to P'nu'el and made the same request, and the people of P'nu'el gave the same answer as those of Sukkot.

So he answered the people of P'nu'el similarly, "When I return safe and sound, I will break down this tower!"

He also broke down the tower of P'nu'el and put the men of the city to death.

Then Yarov'am built up Sh'khem in the hills of Efrayim and lived there. After that, he left and built up P'nu'el.
