Did not Achan the son of Zerah, etc.] One that descended from Zerah the son of Judah, (<060718>Joshua 7:18); commit a trespass in the accursed thing; in taking what was devoted to sacred uses: and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and which was what was feared now; and this instance is brought to show that such fears were not groundless: and that man perished not alone in his iniquity: which seems to confirm the notion of those who think that his children suffered with him; though it may be observed, that it was through his sin that thirty six men were slain by the men of Ai, (<060705>Joshua 7:5).
