MORMON 2
3 And
it came to pass that in the three hundred and twenty and seventh year the
Lamanites did come upon us with exceedingly great power, insomuch that they did
frighten my armies; therefore they would not fight, and they began to retreat
towards the north countries.
4 And
it came to pass that we did come to the city of
Angola, and we did take possession of the city, and make preparations to
defend ourselves against the Lamanites. And it came to pass that we did fortify
the city with our might; but notwithstanding all our fortifications the
Lamanites did come upon us and did drive us out of the city.
5 And
they did also drive us forth out of the land of
David.
6 And
we marched forth and came to the land of Joshua, which was in the borders
west by the seashore.
7 And
it came to pass that we did gather in our people as fast as it were possible,
that we might get them together in one body.
16 And
it came to pass that in the three hundred and forty and fifth year the Nephites
did begin to flee before the Lamanites; and they were pursued until they came
even to the land of Jashon, before it was
possible to stop them in their retreat.
17 And
now, the city of Jashon was near the land
where Ammaron had deposited the records unto the Lord, that they might not be
destroyed. And behold I had gone according to the word of Ammaron, and taken
the plates of Nephi, and did make a record according to the words of Ammaron.
18 And
upon the plates of Nephi I did make a full account of all the wickedness and
abominations; but upon these plates I did forbear to make a full account of
their wickedness and abominations, for behold, a continual scene of wickedness
and abominations has been before mine eyes ever since I have been sufficient to
behold the ways of man.
19 And
wo is me because of their wickedness; for my heart has been filled with sorrow
because of their wickedness, all my days; nevertheless, I know that I shall be
lifted up at the last day.
20 And
it came to pass that in this year the people of Nephi again were hunted and
driven. And it came to pass that we were driven forth until we had come
northward to the land which was called Shem.
21 And
it came to pass that we did fortify the city of Shem, and we did gather in our
people as much as it were possible, that perhaps we might save them from
destruction.
29 And the
Lamanites did give unto us the land northward, yea, even to the narrow passage
which led into the land southward. And we did give unto the Lamanites all the
land southward.
