So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram

on Numbers 16:25-26

Moses goes to the men who refused to come to him, and the elders of Israel go with him. The eldership stands visibly on one side before anything happens.

proposed

There, as in the place of rendezvous, Dathan and Abiram staid, when Korah and his friends went up to the tabernacle of the Lord, waiting the issue of their trial; but here we are told how they had their business done, before that trial was over. For God will take what method he pleases in his judgments.

proposed

The united and urgent entreaties of so many dignified personages produced the desired effect of convincing the people of their crime, and of withdrawing them from the company of men who were doomed to destruction, lest, being partakers of their sins, they should perish along with them.
