Psalms 106:18 - Exposition

And a fire was kindled in their company (see Numbers 16:35 , Numbers 16:40 ; Numbers 26:10 ). The flame burned up the wicked. Korah and his "company" were more "wicked" than Dathan, Abiram, and their followers, since they had received a favour from God which ought to have satisfied them ( Numbers 16:9 , Numbers 16:10 ), and since they ought to have been better instructed in the Law than ordinary Israelites. Hence Korah alone is mentioned in Jude 1:11 .
