Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho

34In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of YHVH spoken by Joshua son of Nun.

1 Kings 16:34

26At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath:

“Cursed before YHVH is the man who rises up

and rebuilds this city, Jericho;

at the cost of his firstborn

he will lay its foundations;

at the cost of his youngest

he will set up its gates.”

Joshua 6:26
