Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites. Joshua 7:24-26 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor. / “Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies. / And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day. Joshua 22:20 Was not Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’” 2 Samuel 11:3 So David sent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, “This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 2 Samuel 12:9 Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own. You have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites. 2 Samuel 12:13-14 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die. / Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.” 1 Kings 15:5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. Psalm 51:1-4 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. / Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. / For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. ... Psalm 32:1-5 Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. / Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit. / When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long. ...

Joshua 7:1-5 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel… Achan.

The son of Carmi This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Carmi, a member of the tribe of Judah. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and covenantal continuity of God's people. The mention of Carmi here is significant as it ties the narrative to the broader account of Israel's journey and the importance of each individual's role within God's plan. The Hebrew root for "Carmi" can be associated with "vineyard" or "garden," symbolizing potential fruitfulness and blessing, which contrasts with the actions of his son. Achar who brought trouble on Israel by violating the ban on devoted things Persons / Places / Events 1. CarmiA member of the tribe of Judah, listed in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. He is the father of Achar. 2. Achar Also known as Achan in other translations, he is infamous for his disobedience to God's command during the conquest of Jericho, which brought trouble upon Israel. 3. Israel The nation chosen by God, which suffered consequences due to Achar's sin. 4. The Ban on Devoted Things A divine command given to the Israelites to destroy or dedicate certain items to God during their conquests, particularly in the context of the fall of Jericho. 5. Troubler of Israel A title given to Achar due to the consequences of his actions, which brought God's judgment upon the nation. Teaching Points The Consequences of DisobedienceAchar's account is a stark reminder that disobedience to God's commands can have far-reaching consequences, not just for the individual but for the community as well. The Importance of Holiness The ban on devoted things underscores the call for God's people to be set apart and to honor what is sacred. Corporate Responsibility Achar's sin affected the entire nation of Israel, highlighting the interconnectedness of the community of believers and the impact of individual actions on the whole. Repentance and Restoration While Achar's account ends in judgment, it serves as a call to repentance and the possibility of restoration when we turn back to God. Guarding Against Temptation Achar's downfall began with covetousness, reminding us to guard our hearts against the allure of material possessions and to seek contentment in God.(7) The sons of Carmi.--See Note on 1Chronicles 1:41. Achar, the troubler of Israel. --See Joshua 7:1, where the man is called "Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah." The family of Carmi, therefore, were Zarhites. Joshua 7:24 calls him "Achan, the son of Zerah," an expression which shows, if other proof were wanting, that we must be cautious of interpreting such phrases literally in all instances.Achar . . . troubler of Israel.--There is a play on the man's name in the Hebrew, which is, "Achar 'ocher Yisrael." So in Joshua 7:25 Joshua asks, "Why hast thou troubled us?" ('achartanu), and in 1Chronicles 2:26 the place of Achar's doom is called "the valley of Achor" (trouble). Probably Achan is an old error for Achar. . . . Verse 7. - We have then so far seven grandsons to Judah, when a new name, unmentioned before, is introduced - Carmi. He is neither described as one of the seven grandsons nor as descended from any one of them, but unenviably enough is marked as the father of Achar - later form of Achau - the troubler of Israel. Joshua 7:1-18 supplies the missing link, and states that Carmi is son of Zimri (Zabdi), one of the aforesaid seven grandsons. By the punishment of death, visited upon this Achar, with his sons and daughters (Joshua 7:24, 25), it may be presumed that the line of Judah through him became extinct.Parallel Commentaries ...
