Mosiah 9:1, 2, 3,
Mosiah 10:7
Mosiah 9:1
I, Zeniff, having been taught in all the language of the Nephites,
and having had a knowledge of the land of Nephi,
or of the land of our fathers' first inheritance,
and having been sent as a spy among the Lamanites
that I might spy out their forces,
that our army might come upon them and destroy them —
but when I saw that which was good among them
I was desirous that they should not be destroyed.
Mosiah 9:2
Therefore, I contended with my brethren in the wilderness,
for I would that our ruler should make a treaty with them;
but he being an austere and a blood-thirsty man commanded that I should be slain;
but I was rescued by the shedding of much blood;
for father fought against father, and brother against brother,
until the greater number of our army was destroyed in the wilderness;
and we returned, those of us that were spared, to the land of Zarahemla,
to relate that tale to their wives and their children.
Mosiah 9:3
And yet, I being over–zealous to inherit the land of our fathers,
collected as many as were desirous to go up to possess the land,
and started again on our journey into the wilderness to go up to the land;
but we were smitten with famine and sore afflictions;
for we were slow to remember the Lord our God.
Mosiah 10:7
but I had sent my spies out round about the land of Shemlon,
that I might discover their preparations,
that I might guard against them,
that they might not come upon my people and destroy them.
