hiel - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  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.
