Scourged by the Lamanites
The Lord told Nephi that if the day ever came that the Nephites rebelled against the commandments, the Lamanites would be given power to scourge the Nephites “to stir them up in the ways of remembrance” (see 1 Nephi 2:21–24). What happened to King Noah’s people was a literal fulfillment of this prophecy.
