The verses today describe a little talked about king in the history of the Jaredite people named Morianton. He did everything right as a king, he lessened the burden for his people and helped them. But the scriptures say he didn't do justice for himself because of his own wickedness. He was able to govern the multitudes, but not able to govern the one. As we go throughout a morally decaying world it is more important than ever to learn how to govern the one.
