HIEL

God liveth, a Bethelite, who rebuilt Jericho in despite of the woe denounced five hundred years before, Jos 6:26. The fulfillment of the curse by the death of his children, proves the truth which his name signified, 1Ki 16:34.

Hiel. Hiel
Life of (i.e., from) God, a native of Bethel, who built (i.e., fortified) Jericho some seven hundred years after its destruction by the Israelites. There fell on him for such an act the imprecation of Joshua (6:26). He laid the foundation in his first-born, and set up the gates in his youngest son (1 Kings 16:34), i.e., during the progress of the work all his children died.
