King Noah rules in wickedness—He revels in riotous living with his wives and concubines—Abinadi prophesies that the people will be taken into bondage—His life is sought by King Noah. About 160–150 B.C.
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.
2 For
behold,
he
did
not
keep
the
commandments
of
God,
but
he
did
walk
after
the
desires
of
his
own
heart.
And
he
had
many
wives
and
a
concubines.
And
he
did
b
cause
his
people
to
commit
sin,
and
do
that
which
was
c
abominable
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord.
Yea,
and
they
did
commit
d
whoredoms
and
e
all
manner
of
wickedness.
3 And
he
laid
a
a
tax
of
one
fifth
part
of
all
they
possessed,
a
fifth
part
of
their
gold
and
of
their
silver,
and
a
fifth
part
of
their
b
ziff,
and
of
their
copper,
and
of
their
brass
and
their
iron;
and
a
fifth
part
of
their
fatlings;
and
also
a
fifth
part
of
all
their
grain.
4 And
all
this
did
he
take
to
a
support
himself,
and
his
wives
and
his
b
concubines;
and
also
his
priests,
and
their
wives
and
their
concubines;
thus
he
had
changed
the
affairs
of
the
kingdom.
