ZENOS. A Hebrew prophet, often quoted by the Nephite servants of God. All we are told of his personal history is that he was slain because he testified boldly of what God revealed to him. That he was a man greatly blessed of the Lord with the spirit of prophecy is shown by that wonderful and almost incomparable parable of the Vineyard, given at length by Jacob (Jacob, chap. 5). His prophecies are also quoted by Nephi, (I Nephi, 19:10, 12, 16), Alma, (Alma, 33:3, 13, 15), Amulek, (Alma, 34:7), Samuel, the Lamanite, (Helaman, 15:11), and Mormon (III Nephi, 10:16).
