And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there; and went out from there, and built Penuel.
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom you slew at Tabor? And they answered, As you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
