And the sons of Carmi, etc.] The Targum adds, this is Zimri; but in (<060701>Joshua 7:1) Carmi is said to be the son of Zabdi, who seems to be the same with Zimri; and some supply the word here, and read f14 the sons of Zimri, Carmi, Achar, who was the grandson of Zimri; his proper name was Achan, (<060701>Joshua 7:1), but called Achar here by way of reproach, as Jarchi and others observe; being, as it follows, the troubler of Israel, as Achar signifies: “who transgressed in the thing accursed”; devoted to the Lord, by taking it away for his own use, (see <060617> Joshua 6:17 7:21), hence the valley in which he was put to death was called Achor, (<060626>Joshua 6:26).
