Achan was in the tribe of Judah when they crossed the Jordan River into Jericho. The city was to be destroyed completely, and it's 'silver and gold' was supposed to go to the treasury(Joshua 6:17+19). When Achan came across some items he liked, he took them for himself, basically stealing from God, and hid them under his tent(Joshua 7:21). God withdrew his spirit from Israel until they did something about this 'secret sin'(Joshua 7:4-18). Because Achan had directly disobeyed God's orders, attempting to hide his sin, admitting it only when he was forced to, he and his whole family(for which HE was responsible) was put to death by stoning, and everything he owned was then burned up so there was nothing left (Joshua 7:19-26).
