Ether 8:8-14

What we learned...

"Akish was willing to take his friend's life in order to marry Jared's daughter." (Shaylee)

"The daughter of Jared and Jared plotted against his father by seducing Akish and making him kill the king to marry his daughter." (Brandon)

"Jared said unto Akish he would his daughter unto him if he would bring unto him the head of his father, the king." (Maycee)

"Akish made his friends and family swear not to tell his plans or else they would lose their life." (Jaron)

"The daughter of Jared devised a plan to get her father back in power by seducing Akish and getting him to get the head of the king if she would marry him." (Kenyon)

"Jared's daughter wanted to help her father get back the throne so she came up with a plan to kill her grandfather so he could get back on the throne." (Mom)

"Despite the fact that Akish was friends with Omer the king he was willing to kill him in order to satisfy his lusts for the daughter of Jared. Lust is a powerful temptation and can get people to do bad things, just like what happened here and with king David. We need to be cautious to avoid pornography and impure thoughts that would cause us to lose the Spirit and sin." (Dad)
