THE SECOND BOOK OF SAMUEL (THE LAMANITE)
Chapter 9
Premium narration
1
After dismissing the multitude, Jesus privately instructs the chosen servants in deeper doctrine and practice, the record of which the narrator places in the Book of the High Place rather than repeat here, citing the scarcity of metal in the Land Northward. He urges his posterity to heed the Savior's prophecies concerning their day. Jesus spends many days correcting and commending the Nem of Corianton, then addresses the gathered people.
2
He pronounces them blessed for following the Spirit and counsels them to seek heavenly treasure, lift the downtrodden, and love neighbors as kin of one Creator. He forbids leaders from judging the worthiness of persons, reserving such judgment to himself as the Way; only actions may be judged, and compulsion enslaves and seals the heavens. Regarding war, he commands suing for peace first, preaching to enemies, and never seeking their destruction.
3
Jesus ascends in a pillar of light amid angelic song, leaving the people filled with the Spirit.
