6:1 And now, king Benjamin thought it was
expedient, after having finished speaking to the people,
that he should take the names of all those who had
entered into a covenant with God to keep his
commandments. |
|
6:2 And it came to pass that there was not one
soul, except it were little children, but who had entered
into the covenant and had taken upon them the name of Christ. |
|
6:3 And again, it came to pass that when king
Benjamin had made an end of all these things, and had
consecrated his son Mosiah to be a ruler and a king over
his people, and had given him all the charges concerning
the kingdom, and also had appointed priests to teach the
people, that thereby they might hear and know the
commandments of God, and 1to stir them up in remembrance of the oath which
they had made, he dismissed the multitude, and they
returned, every one, according to their families, to
their own houses. |

II Peter 1:13: ...to stir you up by putting you in
remembrance... |
6:4 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.
|
|
6:5 And king Benjamin lived three years and he
died. |
|
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. |
|
6:7 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. |
