“The Daughters of Ishmael Did Mourn Exceedingly”

References

• 1 Nephi 16:35–36

  And it came to pass that the daughters of Ishmael did mourn exceedingly, because of the loss of their father, and because of their afflictions in the wilderness; and they did murmur against my father, because he had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, saying:

  “Our father is dead; yea, and we have wandered much in the wilderness, and we have suffered much affliction, hunger, thirst, and fatigue; and after all these sufferings we must perish in the wilderness with hunger.”

  And thus they did murmur against my father, and also against me; and they were desirous to return again to Jerusalem.
