Easton's Bible Dictionary Vine-dresser. (1.) The last named of the four sons of Reuben (Genesis 46:9). (2.) A descendant of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:1). He is elsewhere (2:18) called Caleb (q.v.). (3.) The son of Zimri, and the father of Achan (Joshua 7:1), "the troubler of Israel." Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia CARMI (1) A son of Reuben who came to Egypt with Jacob (Genesis 46:9 Exodus 6:14 1 Chronicles 5:3). Also the name of a family of which Carmi was the head (Numbers 26:6). (2) A Judahite (1 Chronicles 2:7), son of Zabdi, according to Joshua 7:1, and father of Achan, who is given the name of "Achar" in 1 Chronicles 2:7. This last form "Achar" is preferred to the usual "Achan" in order to bring out the play on the Hebrew word for "troubler." The Hebrew runs `akhar `okher yisra'el, "Achar, the troubler of Israel." As regards the phrase "the sons of Carmi" (1 Chronicles 2:7), Carmi is probably to be taken as the son of Zimri (= Zabdi, Joshua 7:1). The Targum, however, has "Carmi who is Zimri." The Septuagint identifies Zimri and Zabdi. (3) In 1 Chronicles 4:1, Carmi, elsewhere called son of Zabdi or Zimri, is made son of Judah; but Wellhausen correctly changes "Carmi" to "Chelubai" (compare 1 Chronicles 2:9). Horace J. Wolf
