Commentary on Numbers 16:12
Dathan and Abiram, from Reuben's tribe, refused Moses' summons with contempt. Their defiance escalated beyond Korah's religious challenge to complete rejection of Moses' authority. The phrase 'we will not come up' expressed not merely refusal but arrogant dismissal. Pride and rebellion feed on themselves, growing bolder when unchecked.
