36-38 And the men, whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up a slander upon the land, even those men who brought up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of the men who went to search the land, lived still.
Numbers 14:39-45

39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.


40And they rose up early in the morning and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned."


41And Moses said, "Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? But it shall not prosper.


42Go not up, for the LORD is not among you, that ye be not smitten before your enemies.


43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword. Because ye have turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you."


44But they presumed to go up unto the hilltop. Nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses departed not out of the camp.


45Then the Amalekites came down and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill, and smote them and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
