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. 1 2 Jos 22:20Ecc 9:181Ch 2:6-71Ch 21:7Jos 22:18Jos 7:20-21Jon 1:7Jos 22:16 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. Jos 18:121Sa 13:51Sa 14:23Hos 4:15Gen 12:8Mat 10:16Pro 20:18Pro 24:6 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 3 Heb 6:11-122Pe 1:102Pe 1:5Heb 4:11Luk 13:24Pro 13:4Pro 21:25 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. Deu 28:25Lev 26:17Deu 32:30Isa 30:17Isa 59:2 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 4 Jos 2:11Jos 2:9Lev 26:36Deu 1:44Ezk 21:7Isa 13:7Jos 5:1Nam 2:10
¶ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. Gen 37:29Gen 37:342Sa 13:31Lam 2:10Num 14:6Rev 18:19Act 14:14Est 4:1 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! Heb 12:52Ki 3:10Exo 14:11-12Exo 16:3Exo 17:3Exo 5:22-23Jer 12:1-2Jos 1:2-4 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 5 Rom 3:5-6Ezr 9:10Hab 2:1 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

¶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 6 1Sa 16:1Exo 14:151Ch 22:161Sa 15:22 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. Act 5:1-2Heb 4:13Jos 6:17-19Act 5:9Jos 7:20-212Ki 18:122Ki 5:25-26Deu 17:2 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. Psa 5:4-5Isa 59:2Jdg 2:14Jos 6:18Num 14:45Deu 7:26Hag 2:13-14Hab 1:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. Lam 3:40-41Jos 3:51Co 5:11-13Mat 7:5Jos 6:18Jos 7:111Co 5:1-62Ch 28:10 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man. Pro 16:33Jon 1:7Jos 7:17-181Sa 10:19-211Sa 14:38-42Act 1:24-26 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 7 Gen 34:71Sa 14:38-39Jdg 20:6Deu 13:15-16Jos 7:25-261Sa 26:212Sa 13:13Jos 7:11
¶ So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: Ecc 9:10Gen 22:3Jos 3:1Psa 119:60 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: Num 26:201Ch 2:4-7Gen 38:30 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. Num 32:23Act 5:1-101Sa 14:42Jer 2:26Pro 13:21 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 1Sa 6:5Jer 13:16Jhn 9:241Sa 14:432Ch 30:22Dan 9:4Num 5:6-71Jn 1:8-10 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: Psa 38:181Sa 15:241Sa 15:30Exo 10:16Gen 42:21Job 33:27Job 7:20Mat 27:4 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 8 Jas 1:151Jn 2:15-16Luk 12:15Psa 119:372Pe 2:15Deu 7:251Ti 6:9-102Ki 5:20-27
¶ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. 9 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. Pro 15:271Ti 6:9-10Exo 20:5Hos 2:15Isa 65:10Jos 15:7Jos 7:26Num 16:27-31 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. Jos 6:181Ch 2:7Deu 17:5Lev 24:14Jos 7:11-13Lev 20:21Ki 18:17-182Th 1:6 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day. 10 Hos 2:15Isa 65:10Deu 13:172Sa 18:17Jos 7:24Jos 8:29Lam 3:532Sa 21:14
