If you are implying why Paul never mentioned them, look at the context. It appears he was trying to comfort those who had already lost loved ones for Christ. Mentioning those who were to be cast into a lake of fire would have been inappropriate, in my opinion.

The first resurrection in Daniel 12 is more detailed:

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Dan 12:1-2 KJV)

Note that only Daniel's people (Israel) are resurrected; and not all, but "many." That implies a partial resurrection of the children of Israel, which fits the "two resurrection" notion of a first and second resurrection.
