Mosiah 6:4 4 And Mosiah began to reign in his father’s
stead. And he began
to reign in the thirtieth year of his age, making
in the whole,
about four hundred and seventy-six years from the
time that Lehi
left Jerusalem.
Mosiah 6:5 5 And king Benjamin lived three years and he died.
Mosiah 6:6 6 And it came to pass that king Mosiah
did walk in the ways of
the Lord, and did observe his judgments and his statutes,
and did
keep his commandments in all things whatsoever he
commanded him.
Mosiah 6:7 7 And king Mosiah did cause his people that they should till the earth. And he also, himself, did till the earth, that thereby he might not become burdensome to his people, that he might do according to that which his father had done in all things. And there was no contention among all his people for the space of three years.
Mosiah 7
Chapter 7
Mosiah 7:1 1 And now, it came to pass that after king Mosiah had had continual peace for the space of three years, he was desirous to know concerning the people who went up to dwell in the land of Lehi-Nephi, or in the city of Lehi-Nephi; for his people had heard nothing from them from the time they left the land of Zarahemla; therefore, they wearied him with their teasings.
Mosiah 7:2 2 And it came to pass that king Mosiah
granted that sixteen of
their strong men might go up to the land of Lehi-Nephi
to inquire
concerning their brethren.
Mosiah 7:3 3 And it came to pass that on the morrow
they started to go up,
having with them one Ammon, he being a strong and
mighty man, and
a descendant of Zarahemla; and he was also their leader.
Mosiah 7:4 4 And now, they knew not the course they
should travel in the
wilderness to go up to the land of Lehi-Nephi; therefore
they
wandered many days in the wilderness, even forty days
did they
wander.
Mosiah 7:5 5 And when they had wandered forty days
they came to a hill,
which is north of the land of Shilom, and there they
pitched
their tents.
Mosiah 7:6 6 And Ammon took three of his brethren,
and their names were
Amaleki, Helem, and Hem, and they went down into the
land of
Nephi.
Mosiah 7:7 7 And behold, they met the king of the
people who were in the
land of Nephi, and in the land of Shilom; and they
were
surrounded by the king’s guard, and were taken,
and were bound,
and were committed to prison.
Mosiah 7:8 8 And it came to pass when they had been in prison two days they were again brought before the king, and their bands were loosed; and they stood before the king, and were permitted, or rather commanded, that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.
Mosiah 7:9 9 And he said unto them: Behold,
I am Limhi, the son of Noah,
who was the son of Zeniff, who came up out of the
land of
Zarahemla to inherit this land, which was the land
of their
fathers, who was made a king by the voice of the people.
