THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL (THE LAMANITE)
Chapter 6
Premium narration
1
Hementim and Hemen train Shi-Tugo in the healing arts, and he too receives the divine gift of healing. As the three travel widely through the North Country, they hear rumors of a distant nation and, prompted by the Spirit, press far northward. They cross vast grasslands teeming with great black cattle, which Hemen names Oug for their resemblance to a dark sea.
2
Among the plains dwellers they learn of a beloved king elected by the voice of the people, ruling by example. Guided onward, they traverse great freshwater lakes by light portable boats and finally reach a salty bay, where they discover the city Corian-Co-Hah and find its king to be none other than Corianton, the lost brother of Shiblon. Corianton refuses their obeisance and recounts the tragedy of Isabel, the repentant harlot whom Nephite pride rejected, teaching that the repentant are made clean and that elevating oneself above others destroys peoples, priests, and prophets alike.
