Moronihah
According to the Book of Mormon, Moronihah (; 1st century BC) was the son of Captain Moroni who had defeated the armies of Zerahemnah, stopped the king-men, and restored the Nephites' cities to their possession. When Moroni got too old to lead an army any longer, Moronihah received command of his father's armies. In the 39th year of the reign of the judges, or 53 BC, Moronihah had successfully defended the Nephites against dissenters; it was his first recorded victory over the enemies of the Nephites. When the Nephite dissenter Coriantumr invaded a couple years later, however, Moronihah was taken by surprise as Coriantumr attacked the center of the land, Zarahmela, rather than the fortified borders. He then sent Lehi with an army to cut off the dissenters and the Lamanites, and Coriantumr was killed in the battle, along with many others. Moronihah himself retook possession of Zarahemla, and set at liberty the Lamanite prisoners the Nephites had captured there. Over the next ...

Nephi, Son Of Helaman
The Book of Helaman ( ) is one of the books that make up the Book of Mormon, a text held sacred by churches within the Latter Day Saint movement, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The book continues the history of the Nephites and the Lamanites from approximately 50 BC to 1 BC. It discusses political unrest among the Nephites and the formation of a group of secret dissenters called the Gadianton Robbers. Helaman, son of Helaman leads the Nephites for a time, and his sons Nephi and Lehi go on a successful mission to the Lamanites. When Nephi returns home, he correctly identifies the murderer of the chief judge using his prophetic powers, and sends a famine to the Nephite which lasts three years. After a digression from Mormon, the book of Helaman ends with Samuel the Lamanite's prophecy of the signs that will precede Christ's birth and death. Helaman deals with themes of external and internal conflict, hidden information, Nephite racism, and Mor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
