battle with their might, putting their trust in the Lord; therefore, we did contend with them, face to face. Mosiah 10:20 20 And it came to pass that we did drive them again out of our land; and we slew them with a great slaughter, even so many that we did not number them. Mosiah 10:21 21 And it came to pass that we returned again to our own land, and my people again began to tend their flocks, and to till their ground. Mosiah 10:22 22 And now I, being old, did confer the kingdom upon one of my sons; therefore, I say no more. And may the Lord bless my people. Amen. Mosiah 11 Chapter 11 Mosiah 11:1 1 And now it came to pass that Zeniff conferred the kingdom upon Noah, one of his sons; therefore Noah began to reign in his stead; and he did not walk in the ways of his father.

Mosiah 11:6 6 Yea, and thus they were supported in their laziness, and in their idolatry, and in their whoredoms, by the taxes which king Noah had put upon his people; thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity. Mosiah 11:7 7 Yea, and they also became idolatrous, because they were deceived by the vain and flattering words of the king and priests; for they did speak flattering things unto them.
