In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

Verse 34 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Kings. Ahab begins to reign, and the narrator presents him as surpassing his predecessors in wickedness. His marriage to Jezebel and promotion of Baal worship make idolatry a central issue in the kingdom. The rebuilding of Jericho by Hiel is also connected with an ancient word of judgment. The chapter thus prepares the setting for Elijah’s ministry and the open conflict over who truly is God in Israel.

Zur selben Zeit baute Hiel von Beth-El Jericho. Es kostete ihn seinen ersten Sohn Abiram, da er den Grund legte, und den jüngsten Sohn Segub, da er die Türen setzte, nach dem Wort des HERRN, das er geredet hatte durch Josua, den Sohn Nuns.
En su tiempo Hiel de Beth-el reedificó a Jericó. En Abiram su primogénito echó el cimiento, y en Segub su hijo postrero puso sus puertas; conforme a la palabra de Jehová que había hablado por Josué hijo de Nun.
En sus días, Hiel, de Betel, reconstruyó Jericó. Puso sus cimientos a costa de la vida de Abiram, su primogénito, y colocó sus puertas a costa de la vida de Segub, su hijo menor, conforme a la palabra que Jehová había pronunciado por medio de Josué, hijo de Nun.
De son temps, Hiel de Béthel bâtit Jéricho; il en jeta les fondements au prix d'Abiram, son premier-né, et il en posa les portes au prix de Segub, son plus jeune fils, selon la parole que l'Eternel avait dite par Josué, fils de Nun.
Nel suo tempo, Hiel, da Betel, riedificò Gerico, e la fondò sopra Abiram, suo primogenito; e posò le porte di essa sopra Segub, suo figliuol minore; secondo la parola del Signore, la quale egli avea pronunziata per Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun
Em seus dias Hiel, o betelita, edificou a Jericó; em Abirão, seu primogênito, a fundou, e em Segube, seu filho menor, pôs as suas portas; conforme a palavra do SENHOR, que falara pelo ministério de Josué, filho de Num.
亞哈 的日子, 伯特利 人 希伊勒 重修 耶利哥 。立根基的時候,他喪了長子 亞比蘭 ;安門的時候,他喪了幼子 西割 ,正如耶和華藉 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 所說的話。
