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.
Almost all of Priam's children were slain by the Greeks in the course of the war, or shortly after. The three main sources for the names of the children of Priam are: Homer 's Iliad , where a number of his sons are briefly mentioned among the defenders of Troy ; and two lists in the Bibliotheca and Hyginus ' Fabulae .
According to the Book of Mormon, Nephi is the fourth of six sons of Lehi and Sariah. Nephi and his family live in Jerusalem, circa 600 BC, during the reign of King Zedekiah, who is initiated as king under the direction of Nebuchadnezzar. They live there until Lehi is commanded by God to take his family and flee into the wilderness.
Lehi then sends Zoram and his sons to the "land of Jerusalem" to retrieve Ishmael and his family. While Zoram and the sons of Lehi are escorting Ishmael's family to Lehi's encampment, there is a dispute that splits the party, with Laman and Lemuel taking one side and Sam and Nephi taking the other. Nephi then rebukes his brethren.
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.
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. Although he only makes a brief appearance in the Book of Mormon, his brass plates play an important role when they are taken by Laman and Nephi (often referred to as the "sons of Lehi") and are used by the Nephites.
Lehi led them south down the Arabian Peninsula until they reached a fertile coastal region, which they named Bountiful. There, they built a ship, and sailed across the ocean to the Americas. Lehi's sons Nephi and Laman are said to have established themselves and to have founded Israelite nations: the Nephites and the Lamanites.
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. When Lehi takes his family into the wilderness, Lehi brings Ishmael and his family too. The daughters of Ishmael marry the sons of Lehi, but the sons of Ishmael join Laman and Lemuel in their rebellion against Nephi.
