King Mosiah II

According to the Book of Mormon, Mosiah II, (/moʊˈsaɪ.ə/ or /moʊˈzaɪ.ə/[1]) King Benjamin's son and Mosiah I's grandson, was king of the Nephite nation from about 124 BC to 91 BC. The Book of Mosiah is named after Mosiah II.

Accounts

Mosiah instituted a new governing system on his deathbed after all of his sons refused to succeed him. After Mosiah's death in approximately 91 BC, a council of elected judges governed the land until Christ appeared (see Mosiah 29).
