Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

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, 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 (1 Kings
   7:46).
