According to the Bible, the consequence of Hiel's building of Jericho was that he lost two of his sons. In the book of 1 Kings, it is recorded that Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. However, this act went against God's commandment to Joshua not to rebuild Jericho after it was destroyed. As a result, Hiel's firstborn son Abiram died when he laid the foundation of the city, and his youngest son Segub died when he set up its gates. This fulfilled the prophecy made by Joshua that whoever rebuilt Jericho would lose their firstborn son when they laid its foundation, and their youngest son when they set up its gates (Joshua 6:26). Therefore, the consequence of Hiel's building of Jericho was the death of his two sons as a fulfillment of Joshua's prophecy.
