God then tells Moses, to tell Israel, that they better back away from Korah, if they want to live. And then God uses fire to kill to the men who at the time were lighting incense to God. And just like that, no one in Israel every complained again.
But what about his sons? They are alive! For generations, they continued to serve God. After about seven more generations we even see that the prophet Samuel himself is a great times seven grandson of Korah. We see these great also times seven grandsons doing all sorts of work for the Lord now. One group of great grandsons help King David in battle. Most Korahites, now named that because of their infamous great grandfather , worked as door keepers and custodians of the tabernacle.
If you look closely at some places in the book of Chronicles, 1 Chronicle in particular you will see that these sons of Korah have become singers, and worshipers in the temple.
Why though did they sign these beautiful Psalms, as the Sons Of Korah? Why not use one of their other ancestors? I think they were very much unlike their great grandfather Korah, they trusted and believed God. They knew who the God of the universe was. They had an intimate relationship with God. And because of that relationship, they realized just how kind and gracious and merciful God is. Exodus lists the names of three sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph, who form tribes of a group of people known as the Korahites.
However, the successive line seems to go all the way through the prophet Samuel and beyond. Descendants of the Korahites served as doorkeepers and soldiers with King David, explains this Got Questions article. Three descendants of the line of Korah go on to become great musical masters and pen the Psalms: Heman, Asaph, and Ethan. Heman , a grandson of Samuel, penned Psalm 88 , and was known for his wisdom. Other men by the name of Asaph serve men such as King Hezekiah and Nehemiah.
He, Asaph, and Heman served as choral directors of the Psalms, which would have been accompanied by music. Readers could not find two more polar-opposite types of people in the Bible. His descendants serve under the rulers God has placed over them and they serve both the rulers and God well. There are three powerful takeaways from this biblical family:. Even though Korah lives in infamy throughout the Bible, his family legacy does not. Through his line, we have Samuel — a man of God — the Korahites, and his three descendants who write Psalms.
Other figures in the Bible had wicked fathers such as Hezekiah and Josiah, but those kings chose to trust God and rewrite their family legacy. It was a contemplated, planned rebellion. He even gathers well-known leaders to come up against Moses. He was clear in what he was saying. Fulfill our demands, or we will run everything differently around here. Several holy men proceed from that line and give glory back to the Lord, unlike their ancestor Korah.
