3 Nephi 7:2, 11, 14

3 Nephi 7:2

And the people were divided one against another;

and they did separate one from another into tribes,

every man according to his family and his kindred and friends;

and thus they did destroy the government of the land.

3 Nephi 7:11

And it came to pass that they were not so strong in number

as the tribes of the people, who were united together

save it were their leaders did establish their laws,

every one according to his tribe;

nevertheless they were enemies;

notwithstanding they were not a righteous people,

yet they were united in the hatred of those

who had entered into a covenant to destroy the government.

3 Nephi 7:14

And it came to pass in the thirty and first year

that they were divided into tribes,

every man according to his family, kindred and friends;

nevertheless they had come to an agreement

that they would not go to war one with another;

but they were not united as to their laws, and their manner of government,

for they were established according to the minds of those

who were their chiefs and their leaders.

But they did establish very strict laws

that one tribe should not trespass against another,

insomuch that in some degree they had peace in the land;

nevertheless, their hearts were turned from the Lord their God,

and they did stone the prophets and did cast them out from among them.
