John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 2:7

"And the sons of Carmi: Achar, the troubler of Israel, who committed a trespass in the devoted thing." — 1 Chronicles 2:7 (ASV)

And the sons of Carmi
The Targum adds, this is Zimri; but in (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 ^F15 the sons of Zimri, Carmi, Achar, who was the grandson of Zimri; his proper name was Achan, (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 (Joshua 6:17) (7:21) , hence the valley in which he was put to death was called Achor, (Joshua 6:26) .
