6:9 - "...And they did sing praises unto the Lord..."
Instead of grumbling and complaining, they did praise the Lord. This is one way that we can show our faith. It helps us be humble.
6:9-12 - "...And they did sing praises unto the Lord...all the day long..."
We need to remember to give credit where credit is due. It helps us stay humble. We must be humble if we want to keep from having pride take us over.
6:12 - "...[they] did humble themselves before the Lord, and did shed tears of joy before the Lord, because of the multitude of his tender mercies over them..."
We have many tender mercies that are given to us (1 Nephi 1:20). Elder Bednar spoke extensively on this subject in the April 2005 General Conference.
6:22-23 - "...Surely [a king] leadeth into captivity..."
A king will lead to captivity (1 Samuel 8:10-18). There have been a few good kings, but in general, kings do what Samuel describes. Even David and Solomon - two of the best kings - became wicked. Our responsibility is to elect good leaders and then support them.
