“They Came Up Upon the North of the Land of Shilom”

Alan C. Miner

From Shemlon, the Lamanites apparently had to travel "up" in elevation to reach the north of Shilom (Mosiah 10:8). Zeniff's army also comes "up" to this spot (Mosiah 10:10), which was not such difficult terrain that the Lamanites would not choose it for battle. Thus, we might assume they went to some nearby foothills. [Adapted from John Sorenson, Source Book, p. 223]
