Limhi and Josiah

There's a lot of parallels between the stories of king Limhi and king Josiah.

  • they both had wicked fathers who ruled as kings
  • they both recognized the wickedness of their fathers (Mosiah 21:17, 2 Kings 22:10-11,13)
  • they both made covenants with God to serve him (Mosiah 21:29-31, 2 Kings 23:2-3)
  • both nations were put into subjection and forced to pay large taxes
  • they both put down the wicked rulers, or priests, at the time (Mosiah 19:18,20-21, 2 Kings 23:5)

There's stuff that only happens in Limhi's account, and not Josiah's, and vice versa. And the sequence of events is not the same, but they are pretty close. What's important is that the kings each turned from the wicked society that was built before them.

Peace for a time

  • Mosiah 19:29
