Mosiah 10:15 15 And again, they were wroth with
him when they had arrived in
the promised land, because they said that he had taken
the ruling
of the people out of their hands; and they sought
to kill him.
Mosiah 10:16 16 And again, they were wroth with
him because he departed into
the wilderness as the Lord had commanded him, and
took the
records which were engraven on the plates of brass,
for they said
that he robbed them.
Mosiah 10:17 17 And thus they have taught their
children that they should
hate them, and that they should murder them, and that
they should
rob and plunder them, and do all they could to destroy
them;
therefore they have an eternal hatred towards the
children of
Nephi.
Mosiah 10:18 18 For this very cause has king Laman,
by his cunning, and lying
craftiness, and his fair promises, deceived me, that
I have
brought this my people up into this land, that they
may destroy
them; yea, and we have suffered these many years in
the land.
Mosiah 10:19 19 And now I, Zeniff, after having
told all these things unto my
people concerning the Lamanites, I did stimulate them
to go to
battle with their might, putting their trust in the
Lord;
therefore, we did contend with them, face to face.
Mosiah 10:20 20 And it came to pass that we did
drive them again out of our
land; and we slew them with a great slaughter, even
so many that
we did not number them.
Mosiah 10:21 21 And it came to pass that we returned
again to our own land,
and my people again began to tend their flocks, and
to till their
ground.
Mosiah 10:22 22 And now I, being old, did confer
the kingdom upon one of my
sons; therefore, I say no more. And may the
Lord bless my
people. Amen.
Mosiah 11
Chapter 11
Mosiah 11:1 1 And now it came to pass that Zeniff
conferred the kingdom upon
Noah, one of his sons; therefore Noah began to reign
in his
stead; and he did not walk in the ways of his father.
Mosiah 11:2 2 For behold, he did not keep the commandments of God, but he did walk after the desires of his own heart. And he had many wives and concubines. And he did cause his people to commit sin, and do that which was abominable in the sight of the Lord. Yea, and they did commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness.
Mosiah 11:3 3 And he laid a tax of one fifth part of all they possessed, a fifth part of their gold and of their silver, and a fifth part of their ziff, and of their copper, and of their brass and their iron; and a fifth part of their fatlings; and also a fifth part of all their grain.
Mosiah 11:4 4 And all this did he take to support
himself, and his wives and
his concubines; and also his priests, and their wives
and their
concubines; thus he had changed the affairs of the
kingdom.
Mosiah 11:5 5 For he put down all the priests that
had been consecrated by
his father, and consecrated new ones in their stead,
such as were
lifted up in the pride of their hearts.
