4 Nephi 1:49 49 And he did hide them up unto the Lord that they might come again unto the remnant of the house of Jacob according to the prophecies and the promises of the Lord. And thus is the end of the record of Ammaron.

Mormon 1
Chapter 1
Mormon 1:1 1 And now I, Mormon, make a record of
the things which I have
both seen and heard, and call it the Book of Mormon.
Mormon 1:2 2 And about the time that Ammaron hid
up the records unto the
Lord, he came unto me, (I being about ten years of
age, and I
began to be learned somewhat after the manner of the
learning of
my people) and Ammaron said unto me: I perceive
that thou art a
sober child, and art quick to observe;
Mormon 1:3 3 Therefore, when ye are about twenty and four years old I would that ye should remember the things that ye have observed concerning this people; and when ye are of that age go to the land Antum, unto a hill which shall be called Shim; and there have I deposited unto the Lord all the sacred engravings concerning this people.
Mormon 1:4 4 And behold, ye shall take the plates
of Nephi unto yourself,
and the remainder shall ye leave in the place where
they are; and
ye shall engrave on the plates of Nephi all the things
that ye
have observed concerning this people.
Mormon 1:5 5 And I, Mormon, being a descendant of
Nephi, (and my father’s
name was Mormon) I remembered the things which Ammaron
commanded
me.
Mormon 1:6 6 And it came to pass that I, being eleven
years old, was
carried by my father into the land southward, even
to the land of
Zarahemla.
Mormon 1:7 7 The whole face of the land had become
covered with buildings,
and the people were as numerous almost, as it were
the sand of
the sea.
Mormon 1:8 8 And it came to pass in this year there
began to be a war
between the Nephites, who consisted of the Nephites
and the
Jacobites and the Josephites and the Zoramites; and
this war was
between the Nephites, and the Lamanites and the Lemuelites
and
the Ishmaelites.
Mormon 1:9 9 Now the Lamanites and the Lemuelites
and the Ishmaelites were
called Lamanites, and the two parties were Nephites
and
Lamanites.
Mormon 1:10 10 And it came to pass that the war
began to be among them in
the borders of Zarahemla, by the waters of Sidon.
Mormon 1:11 11 And it came to pass that the Nephites
had gathered together a
great number of men, even to exceed the number of
thirty
thousand. And it came to pass that they did
have in this same
year a number of battles, in which the Nephites did
beat the
Lamanites and did slay many of them.
Mormon 1:12 12 And it came to pass that the Lamanites
withdrew their design,
and there was peace settled in the land; and peace
did remain for
the space of about four years, that there was no bloodshed.
