Mosiah 6
King Benjamin records the names of the people and appoints priests to teach them—Mosiah reigns as a righteous king. About 124–121 B.C.
And
now,
king
Benjamin
thought
it
was
expedient,
after
having
finished
speaking
to
the
people,
that
he
should
a
take
the
names
of
all
those
who
had
entered
into
a
covenant
with
God
to
keep
his
commandments.
2 And
it
came
to
pass
that
there
was
not
one
soul,
except
it
were
little
children,
but
who
had
entered
into
the
covenant
and
had
taken
upon
them
the
name
of
Christ.
3 And
again,
it
came
to
pass
that
when
king
Benjamin
had
made
an
end
of
all
these
things,
and
had
consecrated
his
son
a
Mosiah
to
be
a
ruler
and
a
king
over
his
people,
and
had
given
him
all
the
charges
concerning
the
kingdom,
and
also
had
b
appointed
c
priests
to
d
teach
the
people,
that
thereby
they
might
hear
and
know
the
commandments
of
God,
and
to
stir
them
up
in
remembrance
of
the
e
oath
which
they
had
made,
he
dismissed
the
multitude,
and
they
returned,
every
one,
according
to
their
f
families,
to
their
own
houses.
4 And
Mosiah
began
to
reign
in
his
father's
stead.
And
he
began
to
reign
in
the
thirtieth
year
of
his
age,
making
in
the
whole,
about
four
hundred
and
seventy-six
years
from
the
a
time
that
Lehi
left
Jerusalem.
5 And
king
Benjamin
lived
three
years
and
he
died.
6 And
it
came
to
pass
that
king
Mosiah
did
a
walk
in
the
ways
of
the
Lord,
and
did
observe
his
judgments
and
his
statutes,
and
did
keep
his
commandments
in
all
things
whatsoever
he
commanded
him.
7 And
king
Mosiah
did
cause
his
people
that
they
should
till
the
earth.
And
he
also,
himself,
did
till
the
earth,
that
thereby
he
might
a
not
become
burdensome
to
his
people,
that
he
might
do
according
to
that
which
his
father
had
done
in
all
things.
And
there
was
no
contention
among
all
his
people
for
the
space
of
three
years.
