Mosiah 18:24 24 And he also commanded them that the priests whom he had
ordained should labor with their own hands for their support.

Mosiah 18:25 25 And there was one day in every week that was set apart that
they should gather themselves together to teach the people, and
to worship the Lord their God, and also, as often as it was in
their power, to assemble themselves together.

Mosiah 18:26 26 And the priests were not to depend upon the people for their
support; but for their labor they were to receive the grace of
God, that they might wax strong in the Spirit, having the
knowledge of God, that they might teach with power and authority
from God.

Mosiah 18:27 27 And again Alma commanded that the people of the church should impart of their substance, every one according to that which he had; if he have more abundantly he should impart more abundantly; and of him that had but little, but little should be required; and to him that had not should be given.

Mosiah 18:28 28 And thus they should impart of their substance of their own
free will and good desires towards God, and to those priests that
stood in need, yea, and to every needy, naked soul.

Mosiah 18:29 29 And this he said unto them, having been commanded of God; and
they did walk uprightly before God, imparting to one another both
temporally and spiritually according to their needs and their
wants.

Mosiah 18:30 30 And now it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever.

Mosiah 18:31 31 And these things were done in the borders of the land, that
they might not come to the knowledge of the king.

Mosiah 18:32 32 But behold, it came to pass that the king, having discovered
a movement among the people, sent his servants to watch them. 
Therefore on the day that they were assembling themselves
together to hear the word of the Lord they were discovered unto
the king.

Mosiah 18:33 33 And now the king said that Alma was stirring up the people to
rebellion against him; therefore he sent his army to destroy
them.

Mosiah 18:34 34 And it came to pass that Alma and the people of the Lord were
apprised of the coming of the king’s army; therefore they took
their tents and their families and departed into the wilderness.

Mosiah 18:35 35 And they were in number about four hundred and fifty souls.

Mosiah 19
Chapter 19

Mosiah 19:1 1 And it came to pass that the army of the king returned, having
searched in vain for the people of the Lord.

Mosiah 19:2 2 And now behold, the forces of the king were small, having been
reduced, and there began to be a division among the remainder of
the people.
