Midrash sobre I Reyes 16:34
בְּיָמָ֞יו בָּנָ֥ה חִיאֵ֛ל בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלִ֖י אֶת־יְרִיחֹ֑ה בַּאֲבִירָ֨ם בְּכֹר֜וֹ יִסְּדָ֗הּ ובשגיב [וּבִשְׂג֤וּב] צְעִירוֹ֙ הִצִּ֣יב דְּלָתֶ֔יהָ כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֔ר בְּיַ֖ד יְהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ בִּן־נֽוּן׃ (ס)
En su tiempo Hiel de Beth-el reedificó á Jericó. En Abiram su primogénito echó el cimiento, y en Segub su hijo postrero puso sus puertas; conforme á la palabra de SEÑOR que había hablado por Josué hijo de Nun.
Sifrei Devarim
"With his first-born son shall he lay its foundations, and with his youngest shall he plant its gates." And thus is it written (I Kings 16:34) "In his (Achav's) days Chiel of Beth-el built Jericho. With his first-born son he laid its foundations, and with his youngest son he planted its gates." I might think that (Joshua swore thus) unintentionally; it is, therefore, written (Ibid.) "according to the word of the L-rd that He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun."
