According to the Book of Mormon, Lehi (/ ˈ l iː h aɪ / LEE-hy) [1] was a prophet who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of King Zedekiah (approximately 600 BC). [2] In First Nephi, Lehi is rejected for preaching repentance and he leads his family, including Sariah, Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi, into the wilderness.
Nephi also mentions having sisters, though he does not give their names or birth orders. Little is known about Nephi's children.

Laban (/ ˈ l eɪ b ə n /) [1] is a figure in the First Book of Nephi, near the start of the Book of Mormon, a scripture of the Latter Day Saint movement.

Later, the four sons of Lehi offer to trade Lehi's wealth (gold, silver, and much riches) for the plates. Laban instead robs them of their property and sends men to kill them. In a third, late-night attempt, The youngest son, Nephi, encounters a drunken Laban passed out on the street in Jerusalem.
In the Book of Mormon, Ishmael 1 (/ ˈ ɪ ʃ m əl,-m ɛ l /) [1] is the righteous friend of the prophet Lehi in Jerusalem.

The daughters of Ishmael marry the sons of Lehi, but the sons of Ishmael join Laman and Lemuel in their rebellion against Nephi.
