Mosiah 28:20

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;

yea, laws after the manner of his own wickedness;

and whosoever doth not obey his laws

and if he can he will destroy them;

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

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

for he had not exacted riches of them,

that they should be delivered from all manner of bondage;

therefore they did esteem him,

yea, exceedingly, beyond measure.
