Now this was the cause of much affliction to Alma,

yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated

to be teachers, and priests, and elders over the church;

yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness

which they saw had begun to be among their people.

Alma 4:9

And thus, in this eighth year of the reign of the judges,

there began to be great contentions among the people of the church;

yea, there were envyings, and strife, and malice, and persecutions, and pride,

even to exceed the pride of those who did not belong to the church of God.

Alma 4:13

Now this was a great cause for lamentations among the people,

while others were abasing themselves,

succoring those who stood in need of their succor,

such as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy,

feeding the hungry, and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ's sake,

who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

Alma 4:17

Now this man's name was Nephihah, and he was appointed chief judge;

and he sat in the judgment-seat to judge and to govern the people.

Alma 4:19

And this he did that he himself might go forth among his people,

or among the people of Nephi,

that he might preach the word of God unto them,

to stir them up in remembrance of their duty,

and that he might pull down, by the word of God,

all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people,

seeing no way that he might reclaim them

save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them.
