Mosiah 11:29
"Now the eyes of the people were blinded; therefore they hardened their hearts against the words of Abinadi, and they sought from that time forward to take him. And king Noah hardened his heart against the word of the Lord, and he did not repent of his evil doings."
Noah's father, Zeniff, was a righteous king. He obeyed the word of the Lord and ruled in righteousness. How drastic the difference from father to son. I'm sure Noah grew up with the gospel and had been taught what was right, but he chose not to follow that in any way. I wonder what things Noah did to start going off track. I'm sure it started simply, but over time led to his hardened heart. Not only his heart though, but the whole kingdom's.
