the sons of Carmi--He was the son of Zimri, or Zabdi, as he is called (Jos 7:1).
Achar--or Achan (Jos 7:1). This variety in the form of the name is with great propriety used here, since Achar means "troubler." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| "Achan" Jos 7:1 seems to have become "Achar," in order to assimilate the word more closely to the Hebrew term for "troubler," which was from the time of Achan's sin regarded as the true meaning of his name Jos 7:25-26. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Carmi - Who is here mentioned, because he was the son of Zimri, who is also called Zabdi, Jos 7:1. Achar - Called Achan, Jos 7:1, and here Achar, with a little variation for greater significancy: for Achar signifies a troubler. |
