A Clear Conscience Before God
In Mosiah 2:9–18, King Benjamin briefly reported his stewardship to the Nephites. His words lead to pondering on how few political leaders in the history of the world could stand before their people and say, “I can answer a clear conscience before God this day” (v. 15). King Benjamin’s son Mosiah, another great prophet-king, later said, “If ye could have men for your kings who would do even as my father Benjamin did for this people—I say unto you, if this could always be the case then it would be expedient that ye should always have kings to rule over you” (Mosiah 29:13).
