| - | King Noah's rule begins in [[Mosiah 11]]. In [[Mosiah 12]], Abinadi is first captured by the high priests, thrown in jail, and then is initially questioned. Abinadi's preaching begins in [[Mosiah 13]], and documents some interaction between him, the king, and the priests. [[Mosiah 14]] through [[Mosiah 16]] is solely his preaching. The king begins to believe Abinadi, the priests stir him up in anger, Alma pleads for Abinadi's life, who is forced out of the land, and Abinadi is killed by fire. | + | - King Noah's rule begins in [[Mosiah 11]]. |

| + | ==== The Priests ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | I think the priests had some kind of a motive, political or otherwise, against the king, to put him in danger. Their method seems to be to get the king angry. | ||
| + | |||
| + | King Noah is also dependent upon his priests for counsel and suggestions, maybe even approval in some cases. He is the blood-related heir of the kingdom. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Let's examine some of the interactions between the two: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mosiah 17:11-12 - the king believes the words of Abinadi, and was about to release him, but the priests got him angry again, specifically saying that he (Abinadi) has reviled //the king// -- not the priests or the people. | ||
