    In Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Joshua son of Nun.

    Here: The same 'price' preposition again. The name probably means 'exalted' or 'set on high'. The consonants in the Hebrew text suggest the spelling Segib.
