Note 52 — CONTENTS (continued 6)
Reading edition
When Kamehameha witnessed the matchless bravery of Hema, he said: “Today you become a chief as I am, and today you refrain from carrying and shouldering baggage, and you shall be a courtier in my presence, and in the presence of the chiefs and the people also. He who disobeys your word shall die. If the delinquent be a chief he shall lose his lands.”52 Therefore Hema was exalted until his death, and was very famous in the days of Kamehameha.
