And he beat down the tower of Penu´el, and slew the men of the city.
Then Jerobo´am built Shechem in mount E´phra-im, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penu´el.
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 Zalmun´na, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
And he spake also unto the men of Penu´el, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
