49 For there was a large number who were desirous to possess the land of their inheritance; wherefore, they went up into the wilderness.
50 And their leader being a strong and a mighty man, and a stiff- necked man, wherefore he caused a contention among them; and they were all slain, save fifty, in the wilderness, and they returned again to the land of Zarahemla.
51 And it came to pass that they also took others, to a considerable number, and took their journey again into the wilderness.
52 And I, Amaleki, had a brother, who also went with them; and I have not since known concerning them.
53 And I am about to lie down in my grave; and these plates are full.
54 And I make an end of my speaking.
Jarom 1 1 Now behold, I, Jarom, write a few words, according to the commandment of my father Enos, that our genealogy may be kept.
2 And as these plates are small, and as these things are written for the intent of the benefit of our brethren, the Lamanites, wherefore, it must needs be that I write a little; but I shall not write the things of my prophesying, nor of my revelations.
3 For what could I write more than my fathers have written?
4 For have not they revealed the plan of salvation?
