Question 1 Report

During the reign of King Ahab, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho at the cost of the lives of his children____________

Answer Details
The correct answer is "Abiram and Segub". According to the Old Testament in 1 Kings 16:34, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt the city of Jericho during the reign of King Ahab, but he paid a terrible price for doing so. In order to fulfill the curse that Joshua had placed upon the city, Hiel had to sacrifice his two sons, Abiram and Segub. This was seen as a punishment for the rebuilding of Jericho, which had been destroyed by the Israelites under Joshua's command. The story serves as a warning against disobeying God's commands and the consequences that can result from doing so.
