Verse 59 is the transition between the story of Korihor and the next story about the Zoramites. Korihor ends up among a people where he might have had some influence had he preached there, but he now shows up as a beggar. Those who follow Zoram have their own issues, and treating the poor kindly was not one of their defining traits. Therefore, Korihor was “run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead.”
Mormon ends Korihor’s story with a short moralizing statement about the faithfulness of Jehovah contrasted with the unfaithfulness of the devil. While this ends a chapter in our modern text, the 1830 chapter continues without a break.
