Jericho

Yericho was the first city in the Land of Israel captured by the Israelites. In the famous battle for Yericho, the Israelites circled the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, they circled the wall seven times after which the priests blew ram’s horns, the people shouted and the walls fell. 

After the destruction of Jericho, a curse was put on anyone who would rebuild the city. Hiel the Bethelite rebelliously rebuilt the city in the times of King Ahab, and received the curse. 

King Zedekiah was caught fleeing from the Babylonians in Yericho.
