24 And they discovered a people, who were called the people of Zarahemla.
25 Now, there was great rejoicing among the people of Zarahemla; and also, Zarahemla did rejoice exceedingly, because the Lord had sent the people of Mosiah with the plates of brass which contained the record of the Jews.
26 Behold, it came to pass that Mosiah discovered that the people of Zarahemla, came out from Jerusalem, at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.
27 And they journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord, across the great waters, into the land where Mosiah discovered them; and they had dwelt there from that time forth.
28 And at the time that Mosiah discovered them, they had become exceeding numerous.
29 Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions, and had fallen by the sword from time to time;
30 And their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them:
31 And they denied the being of their Creator; and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.
32 But it came to pass that Mosiah caused that they should be taught in his language.
33 And it came to pass that after they were taught in the language of Mosiah, Zarahemla gave a genealogy of his fathers, according to his memory; and they are written, but not in these plates.
34 And it came to pass that the people of Zarahemla, and of Mosiah, did unite together; and Mosiah was appointed to be their king.
