Contextual Overview

5Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. These were the descendants of Reuben: The Hanochite clan from Hanoch, the Palluite clan from Pallu, 6the Hezronite clan from Hezron, and the Carmite clan from Carmi. 7These were the clans of Reuben, and their registration numbered 43,730. 8Now the son of Pallu was Eliab, 9and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the congregation, who fought against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah who rebelled against the LORD. 10And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign. 11However, the line of Korah did not die out.12These were the descendants of Simeon by their clans: The Nemuelite clan from Nemuel, the Jaminite clan from Jamin, the Jachinite clan from Jachin, 13the Zerahite clan from Zerah, and the Shaulite clan from Shaul. 14These were the clans of Simeon, and there were 22,200 men.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

It seems to be intimated in Numbers 16:27, Numbers 16:31-33, that the sons and the little ones of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, were swallowed up; but the text here expressly affirms, that the children of Korah "died not;" and their descendants were famous even in David's time. On a close inspection, however, of Numbers 26:27, we shall find, that the sons and the little ones of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned. Numbers 16:5, Exodus 6:24, 1 Chronicles 6:22-28, Psalms 42:1, Psalms 44:1, Psalms 45:1, Psalms 46:1, Psalms 47:1, *titles Psalms 48:1, Psalms 49:1, Psalms 50:1, *titles

Reciprocal: Exodus 6:21 - Korah Numbers 16:32 - all the Numbers 17:12 - Behold 1 Chronicles 6:37 - Korah

Genesis 20:6
Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, "Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.

"Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!"

So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: "After His glory has sent me against the nations that have plundered you-for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye-

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Notwithstanding, the children of Korah died not. Neither of the pestilence, nor by fire, nor by the swallowing up of the earth; they not being in the counsel of their father, but followed the doctrine of Moses the prophet, as the Targum of Jonathan; they either disliked their father's scheme, or, if they engaged with him in it, they repented and departed from him, and were not present when the judgments of God came upon him and his company; there were several of his posterity who were singers in the times of David, and to whom many of the psalms were sent to be sung.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The children of Korah died not - Compare Numbers 26:58. Samuel the prophet was of this family, and Heman, “the king’s seer” 1 Chronicles 6:22, 1Ch 6:33; 1 Chronicles 25:5. Several of the Psalms appear from the titles to have been composed for the sons of Korah: compare titles of Psalms 42:1-11; Psalms 44:0; Psalms 45:0, etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 26:11. The children of Korah died not. — It is difficult to reconcile this place with Numbers 16:27; Numbers 16:31-33, where it seems to be intimated that not only the men, but the wives, and the sons, and the little ones of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, were swallowed up by the earthquake; see especially Numbers 16:27, collated with Numbers 16:33. But the text here expressly says, The children of Korah died not; and on a close inspection of Numbers 16:27 of the above-mentioned chapter, we shall find that the sons and the little ones of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned. So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out - and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. Here is no mention of the children of Korah, they therefore escaped, while it appears those of Dathan and Abiram perished with their fathers. Numbers 16:30; Numbers 16:30.
