Mosiah 17
Alma believes and writes the words of Abinadi—Abinadi suffers death by fire—He prophesies disease and death by fire upon his murderers. About 148 B.C.
And
now
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Abinadi
had
finished
these
sayings,
that
the
king
commanded
that
the
a
priests
should
take
him
and
cause
that
he
should
be
put
to
b
death.
2 But
there
was
one
among
them
whose
name
was
a
Alma,
he
also
being
a
descendant
of
Nephi.
And
he
was
a
young
man,
and
he
b
believed
the
words
which
Abinadi
had
spoken,
for
he
knew
concerning
the
iniquity
which
Abinadi
had
testified
against
them;
therefore
he
began
to
plead
with
the
king
that
he
would
not
be
angry
with
Abinadi,
but
suffer
that
he
might
depart
in
peace.
3 But
the
king
was
more
wroth,
and
caused
that
Alma
should
be
cast
out
from
among
them,
and
sent
his
servants
after
him
that
they
might
slay
him.
4 But
he
fled
from
before
them
and
a
hid
himself
that
they
found
him
not.
And
he
being
concealed
for
many
days
did
b
write
all
the
words
which
Abinadi
had
spoken.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
king
caused
that
his
guards
should
surround
Abinadi
and
take
him;
and
they
bound
him
and
cast
him
into
prison.
6 And
after
three
days,
having
counseled
with
his
a
priests,
he
caused
that
he
should
again
be
brought
before
him.
7 And
he
said
unto
him:
Abinadi,
we
have
found
an
accusation
against
thee,
and
thou
art
worthy
of
death.
8 For
thou
hast
said
that
a
God
himself
should
come
down
among
the
children
of
men;
and
now,
for
this
cause
thou
shalt
be
put
to
death
unless
thou
wilt
recall
all
the
words
which
thou
hast
spoken
evil
concerning
me
and
my
people.
9 Now
Abinadi
said
unto
him:
I
say
unto
you,
I
will
a
not
recall
the
words
which
I
have
spoken
unto
you
concerning
this
people,
for
they
are
true;
and
that
ye
may
know
of
their
surety
I
have
suffered
myself
that
I
have
fallen
into
your
hands.
10 Yea,
and
I
will
a
suffer
even
until
death,
and
I
will
not
recall
my
words,
and
they
shall
stand
as
a
b
testimony
against
you.
And
if
ye
slay
me
ye
will
shed
c
innocent
blood,
and
this
shall
also
stand
as
a
testimony
against
you
at
the
last
day.
11 And
now
king
Noah
was
about
to
release
him,
for
he
feared
his
word;
for
he
feared
that
the
judgments
of
God
would
come
upon
him.
12 But
the
a
priests
lifted
up
their
voices
against
him,
and
began
to
accuse
him,
saying:
He
has
reviled
the
king.
Therefore
the
king
was
stirred
up
in
b
anger
against
him,
and
he
delivered
him
up
that
he
might
be
slain.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
took
him
and
bound
him,
and
a
scourged
his
skin
with
faggots,
yea,
even
unto
b
death.
14 And
now
when
the
flames
began
to
scorch
him,
he
cried
unto
them,
saying:
15 Behold,
even
as
ye
have
done
unto
me,
so
shall
it
come
to
pass
that
thy
a
seed
shall
cause
that
many
shall
suffer
the
pains
that
I
do
suffer,
even
the
pains
of
b
death
by
fire;
and
this
because
they
believe
in
the
salvation
of
the
Lord
their
God.
16 And
it
will
come
to
pass
that
ye
shall
be
afflicted
with
all
manner
of
a
diseases
because
of
your
iniquities.
17 Yea,
and
ye
shall
be
smitten
on
every
hand,
and
shall
be
driven
and
scattered
to
and
fro,
even
as
a
wild
flock
is
driven
by
wild
and
ferocious
beasts.
18 And
in
that
day
ye
shall
be
a
hunted,
and
ye
shall
be
taken
by
the
hand
of
your
enemies,
and
then
ye
shall
suffer,
as
I
suffer,
the
pains
of
b
death
by
fire.
19 Thus
God
executeth
a
vengeance
upon
those
that
destroy
his
people.
O
God,
b
receive
my
soul.
20 And
now,
when
a
Abinadi
had
said
these
words,
he
fell,
having
suffered
death
by
fire;
yea,
having
been
put
to
death
because
he
would
not
deny
the
commandments
of
God,
having
sealed
the
truth
of
his
words
by
his
b
death.
