Korah was their leader and they all turned against the Lord. A hole opened in the ground. Korah, Dathan, Abiram and their families fell into the hole and they died. And fire killed 250 other men.

Commentaries on Numbers 26:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Together with Korah - The Samaritan text does not intimate that Korah was swallowed up, but that he was burnt, as appears in fact to have been the case.
