What does 1 Chronicles 2:7 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
7. the sons of Carmi--He was the son of Zimri, or Zabdi, as he is called (Jos 7:1). Achar--or Achan (Jos 7:1). This variety in the form of the name is with great propriety used here, since Achar means "troubler." 1Ch 2:13-17. Children of Jesse.
