This site's exposition

Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah

on 1 Chronicles 26:1-3

The porters open with the Korhites, the family descended from Korah, whose rebellion against Moses in Numbers 16 destroyed the man but not his sons, as Numbers 26:11 states directly, the children of Korah died not. Meshelemiah heads a house of seven named sons, counted the way Chronicles counts gatekeepers, singers and priests alike, as holders of an accountable office rather than an anonymous labor pool. The sons of Korah also lend their name to a cluster of psalms, so this one family serves the sanctuary in more than a single capacity across the Old Testament record.
