Contextual Overview

16 Early the next morning, Joshua led out all the Israelites. Each tribe came forward to stand before the Lord , and he chose the tribe of Judah. 17 So then all the family groups of Judah stood before the Lord , and he chose the Zerah family group. Then all the families of the Zerah group stood before the Lord , and he chose the family of Zimri. 18 Then Joshua told all the men in that family to come before the Lord . He chose Achan the son of Carmi. (Carmi was the son of Zimri. And Zimri was the son of Zerah.) 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, "Son, you must honor the Lord , the God of Israel. Praise him and confess your sins to him. Tell me what you did, and don't try to hide anything from me." 20 Achan answered, "It is true! I sinned against the Lord , the God of Israel. This is what I did: 21 In Jericho, I saw a beautiful coat from Babylonia, about 5 pounds of silver, and about a pound of gold. I wanted these things for myself, so I took them. You will find them buried in the ground under my tent. The silver is under the coat." 22 So Joshua sent some men to the tent. They ran to the tent and found the things hidden there. The silver was under the coat. 23 The men brought the things out of the tent and took them to Joshua and all the Israelites. They threw them on the ground before the Lord . 24 Then Joshua and all the people led Achan son of Zerah to the Valley of Achor. They also took the silver, the coat, the gold, Achan's sons and daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and everything he owned. They took all these things to the Valley of Achor with Achan. 25 Then Joshua said, "You caused much trouble for us, but now the Lord will bring trouble to you." Then all the people threw stones at Achan and his family until they died. Then the people burned them and everything he owned.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Joshua rose up early in the morning,.... Which showed his readiness and diligence to obey the command of God; and as there was much work to do, it required that he should rise early:

and brought Israel by their tribes: before the Lord, at the tabernacle, where he and the high priest and elders attended; each tribe was thither brought by their representatives:

and the tribe of Judah was taken: either his stone in the breastplate of the high priest looked dull, as some say, or rather the lot being cast fell on that tribe.
