1 Kings - Chapter 12

The Kingdom is now divided.  In the south, King Rehoboam, Solomon's son, rules over the House of Judah.  In the north King Jeroboam rules over the House of Israel.

"Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim, and dwelt there. Also he went out from there and built Penuel."

Both Shechem and Penuel were visited by Jesus.

In Genesis 32 Jacob wrestled with God (the pre-incarnate Jesus) -

So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”

And at the time of Jesus' ministry Shechem was in Samaria, and was the place where Jesus met the woman at the well, and offered her Living Water (in John 4).
