1 Nephi 3
The Book of Mormon for Beginners
Lehi had another dream and told his sons to go back to Jerusalem. Their mission: to get a book of prophecies and genealogy from a man named Laban. So they went back to Jerusalem, and Laman tried to talk Laban into giving them the record, but Laban refused (emphatically). Nephi then suggested gathering up all the valuables they'd left behind and trying to barter, but that also failed: Laban stole their stuff and ordered his servants to kill them. They escaped, but then Laman started beating Nephi with a rod. An angel intervened and told them to try again, but Laman and Lemuel were still skeptical that they would ever get the record.
