1 Nephi 7:16

And it came to pass that when I, Nephi, had spoken these words unto my brethren,

they were angry with me.

And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me,

for behold, they were exceedingly wroth,

and they did bind me with cords,

for they sought to take away my life,

that they might leave me in the wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.

1 Nephi 7:19

And it came to pass that they were angry with me again,

and sought to lay hands upon me;

but behold, one of the daughters of Ishmael,

yea, and also her mother, and one of the sons of Ishmael,

did plead with my brethren,

insomuch that they did soften their hearts;

and they did cease striving to take away my life.
