“Penuel” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. The place where the mysterious man wrestled with Jacob. Jacob gave it this name, signifying “face of God,” because, as he said, he had seen God face to face, and his life was preserved. Five hundred years later the place is mentioned, the men of which would not give supplies to Gideon. On his return he broke down the tower and slew the men of the city. Jeroboam rebuilt it. It was situated between Succoth and the Jabbok, but its site cannot now be identified (Gen. 32:31; Judg. 8:8-17; 1 Kings 12:25). It is called PENIEL in Genesis 32:30.
2. A descendant of Judah and father of Gedor (1 Chron. 4:4).
