Crs 2006 JAMB Past Questions - Question 25: Why did you bring trouble on us? The LORD brings trouble on you today. What happened to Achan after the statement above by Joshua?

Correct Answer

B

Explanation

The Lord's command to Israel not to take from Jericho anything that was to be destroyed was not obeyed. A ma-, named Achan disobeyed that order, and so the Lord was furious with the Israelites. Joshua sent some men, who ran to the tent and found "that the condemned things really were buried there,- with the silver at the bottom. They brought them out of the tent, took them to Joshua and all the Israelites, arid laid them down in the presence of the Lord. Joshua, along with all the people of Israel, seized Achan, the silver, the cloak, and the bar of gold, together with Achan's sons arid daughters, his cattle, donkeys, and sheep, his tent, and they took them to Trouble Valley. Joshua said, "why have you brought such trouble on us? The Lord will now bring trouble on you." All the people then stoned Achan to death. Joshua 7:1-26
