“We Had Already Had Wars and Contentions with Our Brethren”

W. Cleon Skousen

By the time Nephi had finished this second record it had been 40 years since they left Jerusalem. This makes it 559 B.C. now we learn that by this time the Lamanites had discovered the Nephites and several ferocious wars had been fought. This foreshadowed the pattern of events for the next several centuries.
