  • Benjamín (otec Mosiášův) je prorokem a králem v americkém náboženském díle Kniha Mormonova. Žádné jiné prameny se o něm nezmiňují. Král Beniamin byl otcem . a vystupuje v knihách Omni a Mosiáš. Nejdůležitější pasáží o králi Beniaminovi jsou pravděpodobně kapitoly 1-6 v knize Mosiáš, kde pronáší slavnostní řeč. Tato událost je podle některých mormonských badatelů totožná s některými starověkými izraelskými svátky. Řeč krále Beniamina je údajně také vzorovou ukázkou biblického chiasmu. (cs)
  • According to the Book of Mormon, King Benjamin, son of King Mosiah the first, was the second Nephite king to rule over Zarahemla. An account of his life and teachings are recorded in both the Words of Mormon and the Book of Mosiah. He was considered a king and a prophet, and was the spiritual and governmental leader of his people. He is believed to have been born roughly 190 BC. He is best associated with a speech to the people which begins in Mosiah Chapter 2. He talks about righteous living, and shares some of his philosophies of government, stating that the laws he and his father made are based on the commandments of God. He reminds the people that he has not oppressed them with taxes but worked with his own hands to support himself. He then prophesies of Jesus Christ—His birth which is more than 100 years away, His life, His ministry, His death and resurrection. Benjamin explains Jesus' atonement for the sins of mankind, and persuades the people to accept Jesus as their Savior. King Benjamin also proclaims that his son Mosiah will become the next king over the people. Benjamin, while still alive, gave the throne to him. Benjamin was a humble man who worked with his own hands to maintain himself and his family, refusing to live off his people or to surround himself with the trappings of wealth and power. (en)
