to wonder why Nephi asked Zoram to continue with him. The plates had been obtained and surly taking
Zoram (and making the truth of the situation known to him) would only
complicate things and make things difficult.
But what a blessing for Zoram this would be (more on that later).
“follow me”
-this has
a very familiar sound to it. The
subsequent events of Zoram’s life, compared to what they might have been (both
temporally and spiritually) had he stayed in Jerusalem, prove the wisdom and
benefit of listening to a prophet’s counsel.
