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

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.
