2 Nephi 5:3, 4, 14

2 Nephi 5:3

Yea, they did murmur against me, saying:

Our younger brother thinks to rule over us;

and we have had much trial because of him;

wherefore, now let us slay him,

that we may not be afflicted more because of his words.

For behold, we will not have him to be our ruler;

for it belongs unto us, who are the elder brethren, to rule over this people.

2 Nephi 5:4

now I do not write upon these plates all the words

which they murmured against me.

But it sufficeth me to say, that they did seek to take away my life.

2 Nephi 5:14

And I, Nephi, did take the sword of Laban,

and after the manner of it did make many swords,

lest by any means the people who were now called Lamanites

should come upon us and destroy us;

for I knew their hatred towards me and my children

and those who were called my people.
