Lamanite aggressions spread—The seed of the priests of Noah perish as Abinadi prophesied—Many Lamanites are converted and join the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi—They believe in Christ and keep the law of Moses. About 90–77 B.C.
And
behold,
now
it
came
to
pass
that
those
Lamanites
were
more
angry
because
they
had
slain
their
brethren;
therefore
they
swore
vengeance
upon
the
Nephites;
and
they
did
a
no
more
attempt
to
slay
the
people
of
b
Anti-Nephi-Lehi
at
that
time.
2 But
they
took
their
armies
and
went
over
into
the
borders
of
the
land
of
Zarahemla,
and
fell
upon
the
people
who
were
in
the
land
of
Ammonihah
and
a
destroyed
them.
3 And
after
that,
they
had
a
many
battles
with
the
Nephites,
in
the
which
they
were
driven
and
slain.
4 And
among
the
Lamanites
who
were
slain
were
almost
all
the
a
seed
of
Amulon
and
his
brethren,
who
were
the
priests
of
Noah,
and
they
were
slain
by
the
hands
of
the
Nephites;
5 And
the
remainder,
having
fled
into
the
east
wilderness,
and
having
usurped
the
power
and
a
authority
over
the
Lamanites,
caused
that
many
of
the
Lamanites
should
b
perish
by
fire
because
of
their
belief—
6 For
many
of
a
them,
after
having
suffered
much
loss
and
so
many
afflictions,
began
to
be
stirred
up
in
remembrance
of
the
b
words
which
Aaron
and
his
brethren
had
preached
to
them
in
their
land;
therefore
they
began
to
disbelieve
the
c
traditions
of
their
fathers,
and
to
believe
in
the
Lord,
and
that
he
gave
great
power
unto
the
Nephites;
and
thus
there
were
many
of
them
converted
in
the
wilderness.
7 And
it
came
to
pass
that
those
rulers
who
were
the
remnant
of
the
children
of
a
Amulon
caused
that
they
should
be
put
to
b
death,
yea,
all
those
that
believed
in
these
things.
8 Now
this
martyrdom
caused
that
many
of
their
brethren
should
be
stirred
up
to
anger;
and
there
began
to
be
contention
in
the
wilderness;
and
the
Lamanites
began
to
a
hunt
the
seed
of
Amulon
and
his
brethren
and
began
to
slay
them;
and
they
fled
into
the
east
wilderness.
9 And
behold
they
are
hunted
at
this
day
by
the
Lamanites.
Thus
the
words
of
Abinadi
were
brought
to
pass,
which
he
said
concerning
the
seed
of
the
priests
who
caused
that
he
should
suffer
death
by
fire.
10 For
he
said
unto
them:
What
ye
shall
a
do
unto
me
shall
be
a
type
of
things
to
come.
11 And
now
Abinadi
was
the
first
that
suffered
a
death
by
fire
because
of
his
belief
in
God;
now
this
is
what
he
meant,
that
many
should
suffer
death
by
fire,
according
as
he
had
suffered.
12 And
he
said
unto
the
priests
of
Noah
that
their
seed
should
cause
many
to
be
put
to
death,
in
the
like
manner
as
he
was,
and
that
they
should
be
scattered
abroad
and
slain,
even
as
a
sheep
having
no
shepherd
is
driven
and
slain
by
wild
beasts;
and
now
behold,
these
words
were
verified,
for
they
were
driven
by
the
Lamanites,
and
they
were
hunted,
and
they
were
smitten.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
Lamanites
saw
that
they
could
not
overpower
the
Nephites
they
returned
again
to
their
own
land;
and
many
of
them
came
over
to
dwell
in
the
land
of
a
Ishmael
and
the
land
of
Nephi,
and
did
join
themselves
to
the
people
of
God,
who
were
the
people
of
b
Anti-Nephi-Lehi.
14 And
they
did
also
a
bury
their
weapons
of
war,
according
as
their
brethren
had,
and
they
began
to
be
a
righteous
people;
and
they
did
walk
in
the
ways
of
the
Lord,
and
did
observe
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
statutes.
15 Yea,
and
they
did
keep
the
law
of
Moses;
for
it
was
expedient
that
they
should
keep
the
law
of
Moses
as
yet,
for
it
was
not
all
fulfilled.
But
notwithstanding
the
a
law
of
Moses,
they
did
look
forward
to
the
coming
of
Christ,
considering
that
the
law
of
Moses
was
a
b
type
of
his
coming,
and
believing
that
they
must
keep
those
c
outward
d
performances
until
the
time
that
he
should
be
revealed
unto
them.
16 Now
they
did
not
suppose
that
a
salvation
came
by
the
b
law
of
Moses;
but
the
law
of
Moses
did
serve
to
strengthen
their
faith
in
Christ;
and
thus
they
did
retain
a
c
hope
through
faith,
unto
eternal
salvation,
relying
upon
the
spirit
of
prophecy,
which
spake
of
those
things
to
come.
17 And
now
behold,
Ammon,
and
Aaron,
and
Omner,
and
Himni,
and
their
brethren
did
rejoice
exceedingly,
for
the
success
which
they
had
had
among
the
Lamanites,
seeing
that
the
Lord
had
granted
unto
them
according
to
their
a
prayers,
and
that
he
had
also
verified
his
word
unto
them
in
every
particular.
