1 Nephi 2:98 Wherefore, these plates are for the more part of the ministry, And the other plates are for the more part of the
reigns of the kings and the wars and contentions of my people;
Jacob 1:11 And whoso should reign in his stead were called by the people Second Nephi, Third Nephi, etc., according to the
reigns of the kings; And thus they were called by the people, let them be of whatsoever name they would.
Jacob 1:14 But I, Jacob, shall not hereafter distinguish them by these names, But I shall call them Lamanites, they that seek to destroy the people of Nephi, And they which are friendly to Nephi I shall call Nephites, or the people of Nephi, according to the
reigns of the kings.
