1 Chronicles 23:18

After separating into divisions the sons of Levi—namely Gershon, Kohath, and Merari—King David appoints them different duties.

Of all the three sons of Levi, their direct descendants are mentioned in the genealogy.

But, in Izhar son of Kohath’s genealogy, Korah is conspicuous by his absence from the list.

18 Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the first. 19 Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

Could Korah’s rebellion have necessitated his removal from the list?
