Book of Mormon Commentary Alma Chapter 28 PAHORA.N'S REPLY REVEALS THE OTHER SIDE, VER. 1-27 Alma 28:2 And these are the words which he received: I, Pahoran, who am the chief governor of this land, do send these words unto Moroni, the chief captain over the army: Behold I say unto you, Moroni, that I do not joy in your great afflictions; yea, it grieves my soul. But "there are those who do joy in your afflictions; yea, insomuch that they have risen up in rebellion against me" (3). The character of the chief judge is best shown by his reply to Moroni. Far from being the stupid, vainglorious man that Moroni had pictured, he was evidently a wise and conscientious servant of God, and loyal to the country. He also seemed to have possessed remarkable humility and forgiveness. At the same time, he was strong and courageous. "It is those who have sought to take away the judgment seat from me, that have been the cause of this great iniquity (4) They have withheld our provisions, and have daunted our free-men, that they have not come unto you" (5). Alma 28:6 And behold, they have driven me out before them, and I have fled to the land of Gideon, with as many men as it were possible that I could get. Pahoran sent out a proclamation to the people in those parts of Zarahemla; "and behold, they are flocking to us daily, to their arms, in the defense of their country, and their freedom, and to avenge our wrongs" (7). This showing of support was strong enough to put fear into the hearts of the kingmen, so that they "durst not come out against us to battle” (8). Alma 28:9 They have got possession of the land, or the city of Zarahemla: they have appointed a king over them, and he hath written unto the king of the Lamanites, in the which he hath joined an alliance with him; Even in this precarious condition, Pahoran could write, “you have censured me; but it mattereth not, I am not angry, but do not rejoice in the greatness of your heart. I, Pahoran, do not seek for power, save only to retain my judgment seat, that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people" (11, 12). He promised to "resist wickedness, even unto bloodshed." But all he asked of the Lamanites was to “stay in their own land"; and of his brethren, that '.they would not rise up in rebellion" (14-16). Alma 28:19 Therefore my beloved brother Moroni, let us resist evil; and whatsoever evil we can not resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God. He asked Moroni to .'come unto me speedily, with a few of your men.'. The rest under the leadership of Lehi and Teancum could conduct the war in that part of the land. "1 have sent a few provisions unto them” (20,21). "Gather together whatsoever force ye can upon your march hither, and we will go speedily against those dissenters, in the strength of our God" (22).
Book of Mormon Commentary Alma Chapter 28 He closed his epistle on a note of faith. "See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord; tell them to fear not, for God will deliver them” (26). When all else fails, trust in God gives courage and strength to do whatever is necessary.
