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.



Mosiah 29:1

Now when Mosiah had done this

he sent out throughout all the land, among all the people,

desiring to know their will concerning who should be their king.



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 29:13

Therefore, if it were possible that you could have just men to be your kings,

who would establish the laws of God,

and judge this people according to his commandments,

yea, if ye could have men for your kings

who would do even as my father Benjamin did for this people —

I say unto you,

if this could always be the case

then it would be expedient

that ye should always have kings to rule over you.



Mosiah 29:22

and he keepeth his guards about him;

who have reigned in righteousness before him;

and he trampleth under his feet the commandments of God;



Mosiah 29:39

Therefore, it came to pass that

they assembled themselves together in bodies throughout the land,

to cast in their voices concerning who should be their judges,

to judge them according to the law which had been given them;

and they were exceedingly rejoiced

because of the liberty which had been granted unto them.



Mosiah 29:40

And they did wax strong in love towards Mosiah;

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

for they did not look upon him as a tyrant who was seeking for gain,

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.

and thus ended the days of Alma,

who was the founder of their church.
