King Benjamins address is one of my favourite talks/sermons in the Book of Mormon.
The thing I love the most about King Benjamin is that he is a king who worked among the people. He did so, so that he was not supported by them, but to show that he was supporting them. He wanted their life to be burdensome as little as possible.
I, myself, have labored with mine own hands that I might serve you, and that ye should not be laden with taxes, and that there should nothing come upon you which was grievous to be borne (Mosiah 2:14)
Another item I noticed was in chapter 1 of Mosiah. The initial verses of the book again teach about the importance of the plates. The importance of having the word. For this message to be repeated again, and yet we are still early in the Book of Mormon. It shows how much value the ancients placed in these.
