in the first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi,

from this time forward,

king Mosiah having gone the way of all the earth,

having warred a good warfare,

walking uprightly before God,

leaving none to reign in his stead;

did indulge themselves in sorceries, and in idolatry or idleness,

inasmuch as it was possible.
