Il figlio di Karmi fu Akan che mise in pericolo Israele, commettendo una trasgressione circa le cose votate allo sterminio.
E il figliuolo di Carmi fu Acar, quel che conturbò Israele, che commise misfatto intorno all’interdetto.
Bible Verse Review

Carmi: 1 Chronicles 4:1
Achar: Achan is probably called Achar, from the trouble he occasioned. Joshua 7:1-5, Achan
accursed: Deuteronomy 7:26, Deuteronomy 13:17, Joshua 6:18, Joshua 7:11-15, Joshua 7:25, Joshua 22:20
Reciprocal: Genesis 34:30 - Ye have
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 o 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, hence the valley in which he was put to death was called Achor, Joshua 6:26.
o So Junius & Tremellius, & Piscator.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
“Achan” Joshua 7:1 seems to have become “Achar,” in order to assimilate the word more closely to the Hebrew term for “troubler,” which was from the time of Achan’s sin regarded as the true meaning of his name Joshua 7:25-26.
