Significance: Joshua 7:1 traces Achan's lineage through the tribe of Judah: "Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah." First Chronicles 2:3-17 provides the comprehensive Judahite genealogy that includes the Zerahite line alongside the dominant Perezite line leading to David. By positioning Achan within the broader Zerah branch (as opposed to the Perez-to-David line), the genealogical data highlights that Judah's tribal history includes both the line of royal promise and the line of covenant violation. The Chronicler's preservation of both branches demonstrates that divine election operates through Perez despite the infidelity within the Zerahite clan.
