“One of the Sons of the King”

Alan C. Miner

Apparently Limhi was one of many sons of King Noah (Mosiah 19:16), but how old was he? In Mosiah 19:11-12, it says that when king Noah fled from the Lamanites and “commanded them that all the men should leave their wives and their children, and flee before the Lamanites” … but “there were many that would not leave them.” Among those remaining behind and being captured by the Lamanites was Limhi (Mosiah 19:13-16) and thus it appears that we can probably say that he was old enough to be married and have children. Further confirmation of that fact is found in Mosiah 19:17 where it refers to Limhi as “being a just man.” [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
