What is happening?
- Zeniff gives the kingdom to Noah. He rules in wickedness
- Noah taxes his people while he himself becomes lazy.
- Abinadi comes!!
Vs. 19 "And now, because of this great victory they were lifted up in the pride of their hearts; they did boast in their own strengh, saying that their fifty could stand against thousands of the Lamanites; and thus they did boast, and did delight in blood, and the shedding of the blood of their brethern, and this because of the wickedness of their king and priests"
It is interesting to see the differences one leader makes. Let us read back a few chapters...
When Zeniff is leading the people this is what they feel about the shedding of blood Mosiah 9:19 "And I, myself, with mine own hands, did help to bury their dead. And behold to our great sorrow and lamentation, two hundred and seventy-night of our brether were slain"
As we are upon election time, it is interesting to see the impact of one person on a whole nation.
