“There Began to Be Robbers in the Land and They Adopted the Old Plans”

Brant Gardner

Now we have the introduction of robbers in the same context as we see them later in the Gadianton robbers. These “adopted the old plans,” and significantly, “sought again to destroy the kingdom.” This is the classic definition of the secret combinations, and the underlying definition of the Gadianton robbers, throughout all of their various guises.
