2 Nephi 4
1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did cry much unto the Lord my God, because of the anger of my brethren.

2 But behold, their anger did increase against me; insomuch that they did seek to take away my life.

3 Yea, they did murmur against me, saying: Our younger brother thinks to rule over us; and we have had much trial because of him; wherefore, now let us slay him, that we may not be afflicted more because of his words.

4 For behold, we will not have him to be our ruler: for it belongs unto us, who are the elder brethren, to rule over this people.

5 Now I do not write upon these plates, all the words which they murmured against me.

6 But it sufficeth me to say, that they did seek to take away my life.

7 And it came to pass that the Lord did warn me, that I, Nephi, should depart from them, and flee into the wilderness, and all those who would go with me.

8 Wherefore, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did take my family, and also Zoram and his family, and Sam, mine elder brother, and his family, and Jacob, and Joseph, my younger brethren, and also my sisters, and all those who would go with me.

9 And all those who would go with me, were those who believed in the warnings and the revelations of God; wherefore, they did hearken unto my words.
