Nephi was able to talk Laman and Lemuel into going back to Jerusalem with him (grudgingly). They waited outside the city while Nephi snuck in. He found Laban passed-out drunk in the street. The voice of God told Nephi to kill Laman, which shocked Nephi, and he spends a few verses wringing his hands about it. Finally God persuaded him, and he killed Laman and took his clothes. Then he found one of Laman's servants, Zoram, who took him to the treasury and carried the record for him as they headed out of the city. They met up with Nephi's brothers, and Nephi convinced Zoram to come along with them back to Lehi's camp.
