3 Nephi 1:27

And it came to pass that the ninety and third year did also pass away in peace,

save it were for the Gadianton robbers, who dwelt upon the mountains,

who did infest the land;

for so strong were their holds and their secret places

that the people could not overpower them;

therefore they did commit many murders,

and did do much slaughter among the people.

3 Nephi 2:11

And it came to pass in the thirteenth year

there began to be wars and contentions throughout all the land;

for the Gadianton robbers had become so numerous,

and did slay so many of the people,

and did lay waste so many cities,

and did spread so much death and carnage throughout the land,

that it became expedient that all the people,

both the Nephites and the Lamanites,

should take up arms against them.

3 Nephi 2:18

And thus ended the fourteenth year.

And in the fifteenth year they did come forth against the people of Nephi;

and because of the wickedness of the people of Nephi,

and their many contentions and dissensions,

the Gadianton robbers did gain many advantages over them.
