Verse 20
Did not Achan the son of Zerah ,.... One that descended from Zerah the son of Judah, 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, Joshua 7:5 .
