Mosiah and Zeniff.
Protected by the Lord.
The Nephites and
Lamanites had many wars.
One day, the Lord told a
Nephite named Mosiah to leave the land of Nephi with
anyone who would follow the Lord.
Many Nephites obeyed the
Lord and left with Mosiah.
The Lord led them to a land
that had people living in it.
They were called the
people of Zarahemla.
The people of Zarahemla also came from
Jerusalem long ago. They were happy the Lord sent the Nephites
with the brass plates.
Mosiah’s people joined
the people of Zarahemla.
All the people chose Mosiah as their
king. He taught them about the Lord.
The Nephites had been living in
Zarahemla for some time when a large group went back
to the land of Nephi.
They were led by a Nephite named Zeniff.
The Lamanites now
lived in the land of Nephi,
so Zeniff asked their king if
his people could live there too.
The king agreed. The king
tricked Zeniff and his people.
He let them live in the land of Nephi
so he could take some of their food and animals later. Zeniff’s people
lived there in peace for years. They grew a lot of food
and had many animals.
Then the Lamanites attacked and
tried to take their food and animals.
Zeniff taught his people
to trust the Lord. When the Lamanites came to fight them, Zeniff
and his people prayed to the Lord.
The Lord gave them strength
and helped protect them. They were able to
chase the Lamanites away.
The Lord blessed Zeniff
and his people for their faith.
