the Bethelite, someone from Bethel (with definite article)
First Kings 16:34 identifies Hiel as 'the Bethelite' (הַבֵּית הָאֱלִי), the man who rebuilt Jericho during Ahab's reign, fulfilling Joshua's curse at the cost of his sons. The definite article suggests either that Hiel was particularly well-known from Bethel, or that Bethel itself was so prominent ('the Bethel-man') that the article emphasizes his connection to that infamous cultic center. The gentilicial form marks geographic origin.

1. sense 1 — The designation 'the Bethelite' (הַבֵּית הָאֱלִי) in 1 Kings 16:34 identifies Hiel's hometown as Bethel, the northern kingdom's major sanctuary. Spanish 'betelita,' English 'Bethelite,' German 'Bethelite' all render this as ethnic designation. The definite article may emphasize Hiel's connection to that particular religious center, adding irony—a man from the shrine-city of Jeroboam's golden calf rebuilds the cursed city of Jericho, suffering Joshua's prophecy fulfilled in his sons' deaths. 1×
