Why didn't Mosiah have children? Alma 1:1
Answer:
Maybe he did, but he didn't have any sons "to reign in his stead." Or maybe they all died young. Or maybe his sons had mental disabilities. Or maybe Mosiah was infertile. Or maybe his wife was infertile. Or, etc.
The question is obviously not "why." The "why" is obvious. Somewhere between his sperm leaving his body and his death something happened which prevented a male child from being present.
Also, the question is super rude. You don't ask this question! It's not kind. Especially when you have five kids while others don't or can't.
It was mostly rhetorical. At least it was about a dead person so it was less rude.
In my defense, I ask this question all the time about dead people in my family while doing genealogical research. It wasn't meant to sound so...judgy.
