smite us even

       with a rod.

      1 Nephi 3:29

       29 And it came to pass as they smote us with a rod, behold, an

       angel of the Lord came and stood before them, and he spake unto

       them, saying: Why do ye smite your younger brother with a rod?

       Know ye not that the Lord hath chosen him to be a ruler over you,

       and this because of your iniquities? Behold ye shall go up to

       Jerusalem again, and the Lord will deliver Laban into your hands.

      1 Nephi 3:30

       30 And after the angel had spoken unto us, he departed.

      1 Nephi 3:31

       31 And after the angel had departed, Laman and Lemuel again

       began to murmur, saying: How is it possible that the Lord will

       deliver Laban into our hands? Behold, he is a mighty man, and he

       can command fifty, yea, even he can slay fifty; then why not us?

      1 Nephi 4 Chapter 4

      1 Nephi 4:1

       1 And it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren, saying: Let

       us go up again unto Jerusalem, and let us be faithful in keeping

       the commandments of the Lord; for behold he is mightier than all

       the earth, then why not mightier than Laban and his fifty, yea,

       or even than his tens of thousands?

      1 Nephi 4:2

       2 Therefore let us go up; let us be strong like unto Moses; for

       he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided

       hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of

       captivity, on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow

       and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

      1 Nephi 4:3

       3 Now behold ye know that this is true; and ye also know that an

       angel hath spoken unto you; wherefore can ye doubt? Let us go

       up; the Lord is able to deliver us, even as our fathers, and to

       destroy Laban, even as the Egyptians.

      1 Nephi 4:4

       4 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and

       did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up

       until we came without the walls of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 4:5

       5 And it was by night; and I caused that they should hide

       themselves without the walls. And after they had hid themselves,

       I, Nephi, crept into the city and went forth towards the house of

       Laban.

      1 Nephi 4:6

       6 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things

       which I should do.

      1 Nephi 4:7

       7 Nevertheless I went forth, and as I came near unto the house

       of Laban I beheld a man, and he had fallen to the earth before

       me, for he was drunken with wine.

      1 Nephi 4:8

       8 And when I came to him I found that it was Laban.

      1 Nephi 4:9

       9 And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath

       thereof; and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the

       workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine, and I saw that the

       blade thereof was of the most precious steel.

      1 Nephi 4:10

       10 And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that

       I should kill Laban; but I said in my heart: Never at any time

       have I shed the blood of man. And I shrunk and would that I

       might not slay him.

      1 Nephi 4:11

       11 And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath

       delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had

       sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken

       unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our

       property.

      1 Nephi 4:12

       12 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay

       him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands;

      1 Nephi 4:13

       13 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his

       righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than

       that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.

      1 Nephi 4:14

       14 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered

       the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness,

       saying that: Inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments,

       they shall prosper in the land of promise.

      1 Nephi 4:15

       15 Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the

       commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they

       should have the law.

      1 Nephi 4:16

       16 And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of

       brass.

      1 Nephi 4:17

       17 And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my

       hands for this cause—that I might obtain the records according

       to his commandments.

      1 Nephi 4:18

       18 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban

       by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own

       sword.

      1 Nephi 4:19

       19 And after I had smitten off his head with his own sword, I

       took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body; yea,

       even every whit; and I did gird on his armor about my loins.

      1 Nephi 4:20

       20 And after I had done this, I went forth unto the treasury of

       Laban. And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban,

       behold, I saw the servant of Laban who had the keys of the

       treasury. And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he

       should go with me into the treasury.

      1 Nephi 4:21

       21 And he supposed me to be his master, Laban, for he beheld the

       garments and also the sword girded about my loins.

      1 Nephi 4:22

       22 And he spake unto me concerning the elders of the Jews, he

       knowing that his master, Laban, had been out by night among them.

      1 Nephi 4:23

       23 And I spake unto him as if it had been Laban.
