King Benjamin is using a curious expression in Mosiah 4:11 when he says
if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love
What does God's love taste like? I think this is an allusion to the tree that Lehi saw in a dream. The angel explained to Nephi that the fruit represented the love of God (1 Nephi 11:25). The taste is described as "most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted." (1 Nephi 8:11). God's love really does taste sweet. King Benjamin would probably know from personal experience, but also from reading the small plates of Nephi. In Omni 1:25,30 we learn that Amaleki fills the rest of the small plates of Nephi with his writings and then hands them over to King Benjamin. So there is good reason to believe that King Benjamin had read the description of Lehi's dream and kept this in mind when he talked about tasting God's love.
