5 Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name was Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)—now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma was high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.

Wait a minute! Where have these 3 heroes been every other time I've read this story?


Zoram, Lehi and Aha seemingly didn't know Alma but believed he was a prophet of God, and they knew they needed God's help with the mission and I believe they were humble and faithful seekers of God's guidance! I love this!


I wonder how this is going to turn out? (How can I forget after 30 years of daily reading??)
