Moses' cousin Korah is infamous for rebelling against Moses and Aaron along with Dathan, Abiram, and a group of 250 Levites. God dealt with the rebellion decisively. The Levites were incinerated, while the group swallowed up Dathan and Abiram. A midrash says that both happened to Korah, and he was in flames when he fell into the pit.
However, Korah's sons were spared, and his descendants went on to serve God as musicians at the tabernacle and temple. The psalms written by the Korahites reflect their family history, as I explain in an article posted recently in Issue 35.
