This episode is part 16 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers chapters 9-14 of the book of Mosiah. This is part of the record of King Limhi's grandfather Zeniff that Ammon read.
It explains that Zeniff reclaimed the land of Nephi but only by the Lamanites giving him a part of the land. While Zeniff was king, the Nephites and the Lamanites battled several times. The Nephites won, but with bitter casualties.
Zeniff helped the land of Nephi prosper before passing the crown to his son Noah. Unlike his namesake, King Noah of the Nephites was kind of like King Belshazzar. He taxed the people and he and his chosen priests lived lavishly.
A preacher named Abinadi got into some trouble by pronouncing judgment if the people and king didn't repent. King Noah imprisoned Abinadi, then had him stand before the priests to answer their questions. Abinadi delivered a sermon quoting the ten commandments and Isaiah chapter 53 almost exactly as they are in the King James Bible. We talk about how this poses a challenge to the Book of Mormon being a translation from ancient records as it claims.
