Joshua 7:26 - John Wesley's Notes

Joshua 7:26

24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and ^aall that he had, and they brought them to ^bthe Valley of Achor.

25 And Joshua said, ^a“Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” ^bSo all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

26 Then they ^araised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So ^bthe Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called ^cthe Valley of Achor to this day.

Joshua 7:26

A great heap of stones - As a monument of the sin and judgment here mentioned, that others might be warned by the example; and as a brand of infamy, as Joshua 8:29; II Samuel 18:17. The valley of Achor - Or, the valley of trouble, from the double trouble expressed, Joshua 7:25.
