Thematic Bible



Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein. And he went out from there, and built Penuel.

And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel [Peniel], and he limped upon his thigh.

And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and killed the men of the city.
