Mosiah 29:7

And now if there should be another appointed in his stead,

behold I fear there would rise contentions among you.

And who knoweth but what my son, to whom the kingdom doth belong,

should turn to be angry and draw away a part of this people after him,

which would cause wars and contentions among you,

which would be the cause of shedding much blood

and perverting the way of the Lord,

yea, and destroy the souls of many people.

Mosiah 29:8

Now I say unto you

let us be wise and consider these things,

for we have no right to destroy my son,

neither should we have any right to destroy another

if he should be appointed in his stead.

Mosiah 29:23

And he enacteth laws, and sendeth them forth among his people,

yea, laws after the manner of his own wickedness;

and whosoever doth not obey his laws

he causeth to be destroyed;

and whosoever doth rebel against him

he will send his armies against them to war,

and if he can he will destroy them;

and thus an unrighteous king doth pervert the ways of all righteousness.
