11 And they stood before the king and were permitted, or rather commanded, that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.

12 And he saith unto them: "Behold, I am Limhi, the son of Noah, which was the son of Zeniff - which came up out of the Land of Zarahemla to inherit this land, which was the land of their fathers - which was made a king by the voice of the people.
