Dathan and Abiram. Having challenged Korah, the leader, and his Levite followers, to a test on the morrow (vs. 5-7), Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the Reubenite conspirators.

We will not come up. These men refused to submit their case to arbitration in court. The expression “to come up” is the Hebrew term for appearing before a court of law (see Deut. 25:7; Judges 4:5). They denied the legal authority of Moses.
