Sons Of Korah (Bible)
The Korahites ( ''Qārəḥî'' also בני קרח ''bənê Qōraḥ'', "sons of Korah") in the Bible were that portion of the Kohathites that descended from the Sons of Korah. They were an important branch of the singers of the Kohathite division (). The Sons of Korah were the sons of Moses' cousin Korah. The story of Korah is found in Numbers 16. Korah led a revolt against Moses; he died, along with all his co-conspirators, when God caused "the earth to open her mouth and swallow him and all that appertained to them" (Numbers 16:31-33). Immediately after this event, the Lord’s anger burned and a plague struck killing another 14,700 Israelites. However, "the children of Korah died not" (). Several psalms are described in their opening verses as being by the Sons of Korah: numbers 42, 44– 49, 84, 85, 87 and 88.
