Omni 1:1

Behold, it came to pass that

I, Omni, being commanded by my father, Jarom,

that I should write somewhat upon these plates, to preserve our genealogy —

Omni 1:12

Behold, I am Amaleki, the son of Abinadom.

Behold, I will speak unto you somewhat concerning Mosiah,

who was made king over the land of Zarahemla;

for behold, he being warned of the Lord

that he should flee out of the land of Nephi,

and as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord

should also depart out of the land with him, into the wilderness —

Omni 1:17

And at the time that Mosiah discovered them,

they had become exceedingly numerous.

Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions,

and had fallen by the sword from time to time;

and their language had become corrupted;

and they had brought no records with them;

and they denied the being of their Creator;

and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.

Omni 1:28

Wherefore, they went up into the wilderness.

And their leader being a strong and mighty man, and a stiffnecked man,

wherefore he caused a contention among them;

and they were all slain, save fifty, in the wilderness,

and they returned again to the land of Zarahemla.
