Sukot
Opis
(2.) Mesto na vzhodni strani Jordana, identificirano s Tell Dar'ala, visokim gričem, maso ruševin, na ravnici severno od Jaboka in približno eno miljo od njega [Joz 13:27 ]. Tukaj je Jakob [1Mz 32:17 , 30; 33:17], ko se je vračal iz Padan-arama po srečanju z Ezavom, zgradil hišo zase in naredil lope za svojo živino. Knezi tega mesta so nevljudno zavrnili pomoč Gideonu in njegovim 300 možem, ko so "utrujeni, a še vedno zasledujoči" sledili eni od skupin bežečih Midijcev po veliki zmagi pri Gilboi. Po tem, ko so ujeli in premagali to skupino pri Karkorju, je Gideon ob svoji vrnitvi obiskal vladarje mesta s strogim kaznovanjem. "Vzel je starešine mesta, trnje iz divjine in robide ter z njimi poučil može Sukota" [Sod 8:13 -16]. Na tem mestu so bile postavljene livarne za ulivanje kovinskih delov za tempelj [1Kr 7:46 ].

Succoth
booths.
(1.) The first encampment of the Israelites after leaving Ramesses (Ex 12:37); the civil name of Pithom (q.v.).
(2.) A city on the east of Jordan, identified with Tell Dar'ala, a high mound, a mass of debris, in the plain north of Jabbok and about one mile from it (Josh 13:27). Here Jacob (Gen 32:17; 32:30; 33:17), on his return from Padan-aram after his interview with Esau, built a house for himself and made booths for his cattle. The princes of this city churlishly refused to afford help to Gideon and his 300 men when "faint yet pursuing" they followed one of the bands of the fugitive Midianites after the great victory at Gilboa. After overtaking and routing this band at Karkor, Gideon on his return visited the rulers of the city with severe punishment. "He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth" (Judg 8:13-16). At this place were erected the foundries for casting the metal-work for the temple (1Kings 7:46).
