13 "And now, let us be wise and look forward to these things and do that which will make for the peace of this people;

14 Therefore, I will be your king the remainder of my days;

15 Nevertheless, let us appoint judges to judge this people according to our law; And we will newly arrange the affairs of this people, for we will appoint wise men to be judges that will judge this people according to the commandments of God.

16 "Now it is better that a man should be judged of God than of man, for the judgments of God are always just, But the judgments of man are not always just;

17 Therefore, if it were possible that ye could have just men to be your kings which would establish the laws of God and judge this people according to His commandments, Yea, if ye could have men for your kings which would do even as my father Benjamin did for this people, I say unto you, if this could always be the case, then it would be expedient that ye should always have kings to rule over you.

18 "And even I, myself, have labored with all the power and faculties which I have possessed, to teach you the commandments of God and to establish peace throughout the land,

19 That there should be no wars, nor contentions, no stealing, nor plundering, nor murdering, nor no manner of iniquity;

20 And whosoever hath committed iniquity, him have I punished according to the crime which he hath committed, according to the law which hath been given to us by our fathers.

21 "Now I say unto you that because all men are not just, it is not expedient that ye should have a king or kings to rule over you,

22 For behold, how much iniquity doth one wicked king cause to be committed! Yea, and what great destruction!

23 Yea, remember King Noah, his wickedness and his abominations, And also the wickedness and abominations of his people.
