“Ahah, His Son, Did Obtain the Kingdom”

Brant Gardner

Moroni does not explain how Shiblom’s grandson, Ahah, regains the throne for his clan. The narrative is increasingly stripped because the pattern carries the meaning; all Moroni needs to give us (though, unfortunately, not all we want) is the tersest sketch to confirm that pattern.

Chronology: The average-reign chronology of thirty years places Seth at 380–350 B.C. with Ahah reigning from 350–320 B.C.
