(2.) Grad na istoku Jordana, identifikovan sa Tel Dar'ala, visokim humkom, masom ruševina, u ravnici severno od Jaboka i oko jedne milje od njega [IsN 13:27 ]. Ovde je Jakov [Post 32:17 , 30; Post 33:17 ], po povratku iz Padan-arama nakon susreta sa Esavom, sagradio kuću za sebe i napravio kolibe za svoju stoku. Knezovi ovog grada neljubazno su odbili da pruže pomoć Gideonu i njegovih 300 ljudi kada su "slabi, ali još uvek progoneći" pratili jednu od grupa izbeglih Midijanaca nakon velike pobede na Gilboji. Nakon što su sustigli i porazili ovu grupu kod Karkora, Gideon je po povratku posetio vladare grada sa strogom kaznom. "Uzeo je starešine grada, i trnje iz pustinje i bodlje, i sa njima poučio ljude Sukota" [Sud 8:13 -16]. Na ovom mestu su bile postavljene ljevaonice za livenje metalnih radova za hram [1Car 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).
