“For twenty-two years after the first attack by the Lamanites [see Mosiah 9:14–18], Zeniff and his people had peace in their land. During this time, Zeniff organized guards to keep watch over the land to prevent a surprise attack by the Lamanites. … Zeniff understood how to lead his people so that they could live in peace [see 2 Nephi 1:7] … .
“ … Zeniff and his people prospered in their righteousness because they remembered the Lord” (Jackson and Tanner, “Zeniff and Noah,” 231).
