Laban, had been out by night among them.

      1 Nephi 4:23

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

      1 Nephi 4:24

       24 And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings,

       which were upon the plates of brass, to my elder brethren, who

       were without the walls.

      1 Nephi 4:25

       25 And I also bade him that he should follow me.

      1 Nephi 4:26

       26 And he, supposing that I spake of the brethren of the church,

       and that I was truly that Laban whom I had slain, wherefore he

       did follow me.

      1 Nephi 4:27

       27 And he spake unto me many times concerning the elders of the

       Jews, as I went forth unto my brethren, who were without the

       walls.

      1 Nephi 4:28

       28 And it came to pass that when Laman saw me he was exceedingly

       frightened, and also Lemuel and Sam. And they fled from before

       my presence; for they supposed it was Laban, and that he had

       slain me and had sought to take away their lives also.

      1 Nephi 4:29

       29 And it came to pass that I called after them, and they did

       hear me; wherefore they did cease to flee from my presence.

      1 Nephi 4:30

       30 And it came to pass that when the servant of Laban beheld my

       brethren he began to tremble, and was about to flee from before

       me and return to the city of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 4:31

       31 And now I, Nephi, being a man large in stature, and also

       having received much strength of the Lord, therefore I did seize

       upon the servant of Laban, and held him, that he should not flee.

      1 Nephi 4:32

       32 And it came to pass that I spake with him, that if he would

       hearken unto my words, as the Lord liveth, and as I live, even so

       that if he would hearken unto our words, we would spare his life.

      1 Nephi 4:33

       33 And I spake unto him, even with an oath, that he need not

       fear; that he should be a free man like unto us if he would go

       down in the wilderness with us.

      1 Nephi 4:34

       34 And I also spake unto him, saying: Surely the Lord hath

       commanded us to do this thing; and shall we not be diligent in

       keeping the commandments of the Lord? Therefore, if thou wilt go

       down into the wilderness to my father thou shalt have place with

       us.

      1 Nephi 4:35

       35 And it came to pass that Zoram did take courage at the words

       which I spake. Now Zoram was the name of the servant; and he

       promised that he would go down into the wilderness unto our

       father. Yea, and he also made an oath unto us that he would

       tarry with us from that time forth.

      1 Nephi 4:36

       36 Now we were desirous that he should tarry with us for this

       cause, that the Jews might not know concerning our flight into

       the wilderness, lest they should pursue us and destroy us.

      1 Nephi 4:37

       37 And it came to pass that when Zoram had made an oath unto us,

       our fears did cease concerning him.

      1 Nephi 4:38

       38 And it came to pass that we took the plates of brass and the

       servant of Laban, and departed into the wilderness, and journeyed

       unto the tent of our father.

      1 Nephi 5 Chapter 5

      1 Nephi 5:1

       1 And it came to pass that after we had come down into the

       wilderness unto our father, behold, he was filled with joy, and

       also my mother, Sariah, was exceedingly glad, for she truly had

       mourned because of us.

      1 Nephi 5:2

       2 For she had supposed that we had perished in the wilderness;

       and she also had complained against my father, telling him that

       he was a visionary man; saying: Behold thou hast led us forth

       from the land of our inheritance, and my sons are no more, and we

       perish in the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 5:3

       3 And after this manner of language had my mother complained

       against my father.

      1 Nephi 5:4

       4 And it had come to pass that my father spake unto her, saying:

       I know that I am a visionary man; for if I had not seen the

       things of God in a vision I should not have known the goodness of

       God, but had tarried at Jerusalem, and had perished with my

       brethren.

      1 Nephi 5:5

       5 But behold, I have obtained a land of promise, in the which

       things I do rejoice; yea, and I know that the Lord will deliver

       my sons out of the hands of Laban, and bring them down again unto

       us in the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 5:6

       6 And after this manner of language did my father, Lehi, comfort

       my mother, Sariah, concerning us, while we journeyed in the

       wilderness up to the land of Jerusalem, to obtain the record of

       the Jews.

      1 Nephi 5:7

       7 And when we had returned to the tent of my father, behold

       their joy was full, and my mother was comforted.

      1 Nephi 5:8

       8 And she spake, saying: Now I know of a surety that the Lord

       hath commanded my husband to flee into the wilderness; yea, and I

       also know of a surety that the Lord hath protected my sons, and

       delivered them out of the hands of Laban, and given them power

       whereby they could accomplish the thing which the Lord hath

       commanded them. And after this manner of language did she speak.

      1 Nephi 5:9

       9 And it came to pass that they did rejoice exceedingly, and did

       offer sacrifice and burnt offerings unto the Lord; and they gave

       thanks unto the God of Israel.

      1 Nephi 5:10

       10 And after they had given thanks unto the God of Israel, my

       father, Lehi, took the records which were engraven upon the

       plates of brass, and he did search them from the beginning.
