1 Kings 16:34

16:34 During Ahab’s reign, 7  Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. 8  Abiram, his firstborn son, died when he laid the foundation; 9  Segub, his youngest son, died when he erected its gates, 10  just as the Lord had warned 11  through Joshua son of Nun. 12 

1 tn The words “he also made” are added for stylistic reasons.

2 tc Heb “two of the leaves of the first door were folding, and two of the leaves of the second door were folding.” In the second half of the description, the MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this is surely a corruption of צְלָעִים (tsÿla’im, “leaves”) which appears in the first half of the statement.

3 tn Heb “the pillar, doorposts, a fifth part” (the precise meaning of this description is uncertain).

5 tn Heb “carved carvings of.”

6 tn Heb “he plated [with] gold” (the precise object is not stated).

7 tn Heb “and he hammered out the gold on the cherubs and the palm trees.”

7 tn Heb “in his days.”

9 tn Heb “with Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it.”

10 tn Heb “with Segub, his youngest, he set up its gates.”

11 tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.”

12 sn Warned through Joshua son of Nun. For the background to this statement, see Josh 6:26, where Joshua pronounces a curse on the one who dares to rebuild Jericho. Here that curse is viewed as a prophecy spoken by God through Joshua.
