Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he went up thence to Penuel,.... A place not far from Succoth, and to which also Jacob gave name, from the Lord's appearing to him there face to face, Genesis 32:30 but here was nothing of God in this place now:
and spoke unto them likewise; desired bread for his men, as he had of the inhabitants of Succoth:
and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him; denied him his request in the same jeering manner.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Succoth was in the valley or Ghor of the Jordan Judges 8:5, and Penuel apparently in the mountain. No identification of Penuel has taken place. It was south of the Brook Jabbok, and on Jacob’s way to Succoth. Gideon, journeying in the opposite direction to Jacob, comes from Succoth to Penuel.
