Alma 35:12
12 And thus ended the seventeenth year of the reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi.
Alma 35:13
13 And the people of Ammon departed out of the land of Jershon,
and came over into the land of Melek, and gave place in the land
of Jershon for the armies of the Nephites, that they might
