God being pleased to spare them, either because they disowned their father’s act, and thereupon separated themselves both from his tent and company, or because Moses interceded for them, or because God would glorify his own free mercy in sparing some, while he punished others, according to his declaration in a like case, Exo 33:19. Hence the sons of Korah are mentioned 1Ch 6:22,37, and oft in the book of Psalms.

John Gill 1763 · Public Domain The children of Gad, after their families tribe was…
The children of Gad, after their families tribe was numbered next to Simeon,.... because it lay encamped with that under the standard of Reuben. There is a little variation in the names of two or three of his sons, from those by which they are called Gen 46:16, instead of Ziphion, here Zephon; and for Haggai, here Haggi; and what is much wider, for Ezbon, here Ozni. Seven families sprang from Gad, whose number now was 40,500; they were diminished since their last numbering 5150; it is probable this tribe, being a warlike tribe, suffered very much in their attempt to enter the land of Canaan contrary to the will of God, and were repulsed and defeated by the Amalekites, Num 16:40.

num 26:19And the sons of Judah were Er and Onan,.... And besides these he had Shelah, Pharez, and Zerah, from whom families sprang, but none from the two first: for
Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan; where they were born; and that because of their sins, as the Targum of Jonathan adds, see
Ge 38:7-10 so that there were but three families sprang from Judah, the Shelanites, Pharzites, and Zarhites; only the family of the Pharzites was divided into two families, the Hesronites and the Hamulites, so called from two sons of Pharez; the number of these families amounted to 76,500, so that there was an increase of 1900 since the last muster, which answers to Jacob's blessing, that he should be a praise among his brethren, Gen 49:8.

Verse 11. The children of Korah died not.] It is difficult to reconcile this place with Nu 16:27; Nu 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 Nu 16:27, collated with Nu 16:33. But the text here expressly says, The children of Korah died not; and on a close inspection of Nu 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. See Clarke on Nu 16:30.

11. and the sons of Korah died not] There is no mention of Korah’s family in ch. 16, but the inference might naturally be drawn from Num_26:32 that they were included in his body of adherents. This inference the writer felt it necessary to check, because in his day ‘sons of Korah’ were found in Jerusalem. They were a subdivision of the Levites, a guild which formed one of the temple choirs. To their hymnbook belonged Psalms 42, 44-49, 84 f., 87 f. In Num_26:58 (below) they are called ‘the family of the Korahites.’

The children of Korah died not. The confused nature of the narrative in Nu 16 is well exemplified by this statement; we should certainly have supposed from Num_16:32 that Korah"s sons had perished with him, if we were not here told to the contrary. The sons of Korah are frequently mentioned among the Levites, and Samuel himself would seem to have been of them; (see on 1Ch_6:22, 1Ch_6:28, 1Ch_6:33-38, and titles to Ps 42 Ps 88, &c.); it is, however, slightly doubtful whether the Kohathite Korah of 1Ch_6:22, the ancestor of Samuel, is the same as the Izharite Korah, the ancestor of Heman, in 1Ch_6:38.
