Gideon approaches the King respectfully and says:
And now O king, if thou hast not found me to be an unprofitable servant, or if thou hast hitherto listened to my words in any degree, and they have been of service to thee, even so I desire that thou wouldst listen to my words at this time, and I will be thy servant and deliver this people out of bondage (Mosiah 22:4).
He was the one who came up with the plan of how to escape their bondage and servitude. There is an
Article of Faith, number 12, that reads:
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
Gideon was a perfect example of that.
