Amos(2)

Amos(2) was the son of Amos(1), as mentioned in 4 Nephi 1:21 [1]. He was one of the custodians of the Nephite records, taking over the responsibility from his father [1][2].

According to the scripture, Amos(2) kept the record in his father’s stead after Amos(1) died, which occurred around 194 years after the coming of Christ [1]. Amos(2) continued to keep the records on the plates of Nephi, and the record was also written in the book of Nephi, which is the book of 4 Nephi [1].

The text indicates that Amos(2) kept the record for a significant period of time, as it states that “he also kept it upon the plates of Nephi; and it was also written in the book of Nephi, which is this book” [1]. This suggests that Amos(2) was a custodian of the Nephite records for many years, ensuring the continuity of the historical record.

In summary, Amos(2), the son of Amos(1), was one of the custodians of the Nephite records, taking over this responsibility from his father around 194 years after the coming of Christ, as described in 4 Nephi 1:21 [1][2].
