 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.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
