The story of the Killing of Laban, in which Nephi kills Laban, is found near the beginning of the Book of Mormon. After the family of Lehi flees Jerusalem and sets up a camp in the wilderness, upon being commanded by God in a dream, Lehi sends his four sons back to Jerusalem to obtain a set of brass plates from a commander named Laban.
Nephi 1 returns to Jerusalem and finds Laban "fallen to the earth". An angel commands Nephi 1 to slay Laban and puts on his armor. Nephi 1 commands Zoram 1 to get the brass plates. Nephi 1 and his brothers take the brass plates to Lehi 1; Zoram 1 agrees to accompany them. Lehi 1 comforts Sariah, who had feared for her sons.
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.
Nephi also mentions having sisters, though he does not give their names or birth orders. Little is known about Nephi's children. Religious scholar Grant Hardy suggests that all of Nephi's children may have been daughters at the time of passing on the record, or that his sons were influenced by Laman and Lemuel; his speculations are based on the fact that Nephi says he has children yet passes ...

First Nephi tells the story of his family's escape from Jerusalem prior to the ...
Travelled into the wilderness with his family, murmured against his father and his younger brother Nephi 1, failed to obtain brass plates from Laban, smote brothers, stirred up Lemuel and sons of Ishmael 2 to kill Nephi 1, chastised by an angel, and brought generational curse upon own family and followers, who were named Lamanites after him (c ...
Laman and Lemuel are dubious about the practicality of this as Nephi goes into Jerusalem for a third try, this time alone. [4] Nephi returns, bearing the plates, Laban's gear, and with Zoram in tow. Laman, Lemuel, and Sam initially do not recognize Nephi (as he is wearing Laban's armor) and attempt to escape.
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.
