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,

I was desirous that they should not be destroyed.

Therefore, I contended with my brethren in the wilderness,

for I would that our ruler should make a treaty with them;

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;

to relate that tale to their wives and their children.

that the women and children of my people should be hid in the wilderness;

For this very cause has king Laman,

by his cunning, and lying craftiness, and his fair promises, deceived me,

that they may destroy them;

yea, and we have suffered these many years in the land.
