Lachoneus’ Preparations

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Lachoneus, a righteous man who trusted in the Lord, sought to prepare his people for what lay ahead.

  1. First (and most important), he called them to repentance and implored his people to cry to God for strength against their enemies.
  2. Second, he sought to make those physical arrangements among the people- fortifications, appointment of key military leaders, production of weapons and armor, gathering to a central location, and so forth- which would enhance their chances against the bloodthirsty Gadianton bands.
