30:57 Now the knowledge of what had happened unto Korihor was
immediately published throughout all the land; yea, the proclamation
was sent forth by the chief judge to all the people in the land,
declaring unto those who had believed in the words of Korihor that they
must speedily repent, lest the same judgments would come unto them.
30:58 And it came to pass that they were all convinced of the
wickedness of Korihor; therefore they were all converted again unto the
Lord; and this put an end to the iniquity after the manner of Korihor.
And Korihor did go about from house to house, begging food for his
support.
30:59 And it came to pass that as he went forth among the people, yea,
among a people who had separated themselves from the Nephites and
called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name was
Zoram—and as he went forth amongst them, behold, he was run upon and
trodden down, even until he was dead.
30:60 And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the
Lord; and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at
the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell.
Alma Chapter 31
31:1 Now it came to pass that after the end of Korihor, Alma having
received tidings that the Zoramites were perverting the ways of the
Lord, and that Zoram, who was their leader, was leading the hearts of
the people to bow down to dumb idols, his heart again began to sicken
because of the iniquity of the people.
31:2 For it was the cause of great sorrow to Alma to know of iniquity
among his people; therefore his heart was exceedingly sorrowful because
of the separation of the Zoramites from the Nephites.
31:3 Now the Zoramites had gathered themselves together in a land which
they called Antionum, which was east of the land of Zarahemla, which
lay nearly bordering upon the seashore, which was south of the land of
Jershon, which also bordered upon the wilderness south, which
wilderness was full of the Lamanites.
31:4 Now the Nephites greatly feared that the Zoramites would enter
into a correspondence with the Lamanites, and that it would be the
means of great loss on the part of the Nephites.
31:5 And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead
the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful
effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else,
which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient
that they should try the virtue of the word of God.
31:6 Therefore he took Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner; and Himni he did
leave in the church in Zarahemla; but the former three he took with
him, and also Amulek and Zeezrom, who were at Melek; and he also took
two of his sons.
31:7 Now the eldest of his sons he took not with him, and his name was
Helaman; but the names of those whom he took with him were Shiblon and
Corianton; and these are the names of those who went with him among the
Zoramites, to preach unto them the word.
