“Their cultural distinction, readily apparent by name usage alone, had existed since Mosiah I and his followers first discovered the people of Zarahemla. These ‘people of Zarahemla’ were the inhabitants of Zarahemla who traced their heritage to Mulek, the son of Zedekiah, while the ‘people of Mosiah’ (Mosiah 1:10) were the descendants of those who followed Mosiah I, Benjamin’s father, when he escaped from a wicked Nephite culture and found Zarahemla. Benjamin desired to unite these two distinct peoples with one name and one purpose” (Black, “King Benjamin: In the Service of God,” 38–39).
