It seems to be intimated in
Numbers 16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out,
and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Numbers 16:31-
33 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that [
was] under them: ... They, and all that [
appertained] to them, went down alive
into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and
they perished from among the congregation.
, 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 These [
are] the families of the Zebulunites according to those that were numbered of them, threescore thousand and five hundred.
, we shall find, that the sons and the little ones of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned.
Numbers 16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [

[who is] holy; and
