41 And it came to pass that they did humble themselves before the Lord, and did give thanks unto him.
42 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey, traveling nearly the same course as in the beginning;
43 And after we had traveled for the space of many days, we did pitch our tents again, that we might tarry for the space of a time.
44 And it came to pass that Ishmael died, and was buried in the place which was called Nahom.
45 And it came to pass that the daughters of Ishmael did mourn exceedingly, because of the loss of their father, and because of their afflictions in the wilderness;
46 And they did murmur against my father, because he had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, saying, Our father is dead; yea, and we have wandered much in the wilderness, and we have suffered much affliction, hunger, thirst, and fatigue; and after all these sufferings, we must perish in the wilderness with hunger.
47 And thus they did murmur against my father, and also against me; and they were desirous to return again to Jerusalem.
48 And Laman said unto Lemuel, and also unto the sons of Ishmael, Behold, let us slay our father, and also our brother Nephi, who has taken it upon him to be our ruler and our teacher, who are his elder brethren.
49 Now, he says that the Lord has talked with him, and also that angels have ministered unto him!
50 But behold, we know that he lies unto us; and he tells us these things, and he worketh many things by his cunning arts, that he may deceive our eyes, thinking, perhaps, that he may lead us away into some strange wilderness;
51 And after he has led us away, he has thought to make himself a king and a ruler over us, that he may do with us according to his will and pleasure.
