And now, as I said unto you, that

after king Mosiah had done these things,

he took the plates of brass, and all the things which he had kept,

and conferred them upon Alma, who was the son of Alma;

yea, all the records, and also the interpreters,

and conferred them upon him,

and commanded him that he should keep and preserve them,

and also keep a record of the people,

handing them down from one generation to another,

even as they had been handed down from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem.

because they did humble themselves before him;

in all cases among the children of men,

extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.

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;

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.

that they were expressly repugnant to the commandments of God.

yea, they did esteem him more than any other man;

yea, for that lucre which doth corrupt the soul;

for he had not exacted riches of them,

neither had he delighted in the shedding of blood;

but he had established peace in the land,

and he had granted unto his people

that they should be delivered from all manner of bondage;

therefore they did esteem him,

yea, exceedingly, beyond measure.
