5 "And behold, ye shall take the plates of Nephi unto yourself, And the remainder shall ye leave in the place where they are, And ye shall engrave upon the plates of Nephi all the things that ye have observed concerning this people."

6 And I, Mormon, being a descendant of Nephi - and my father's name was Mormon - And I remembered the things which Ammoron commanded me.

7 And it came to pass that I, being eleven years old, was carried by my father into the Land Southward, even to the Land of Zarahemla - The whole face of the land having become covered with buildings, And the people were as numerous almost as it were the sands of the sea.

8 And it came to pass that in this year, there began to be a war between the Nephites - which consisted of the Nephites and the Jacobites and the Josephites and the Zoramites - And this war was between the Nephites, and the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites;

9 Now the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites were called Lamanites; And the two parties were Nephites and Lamanites.

10 And it came to pass that the war began to be among them in the borders of Zarahemla by the waters of Sidon.

11 And it came to pass that the Nephites had gathered together a great number of men, even to exceed the number of thirty thousand.

12 And it came to pass that they did have in this same year a number of battles in the which the Nephites did beat the Lamanites and did slay many of them.

13 And it came to pass that the Lamanites withdrew their design, And there was peace settled in the land, And peace did remain for the space of about four years, that there was no bloodshed.

14 But wickedness did prevail upon the face of the whole land, insomuch that the Lord did take away His beloved disciples; And the work of miracles and of healing did cease because of the iniquity of the people,

15 And there were no gifts from the Lord, And the Holy Ghost did not come upon any because of their wickedness and unbelief.
