Korah

Korah and his associates challenged Moses and Aaron's authority, saying 'You have gone too far! All the congregation is holy' (Numbers 16:3). God's response was immediate and dramatic: the ground opened up and swallowed Korah and his followers alive. Jude references this rebellion as a warning against challenging God-appointed authority. Yet remarkably, the 'sons of Korah' survived and later wrote some of the most beautiful Psalms (42, 44-49, 84-85, 87-88).
