“Yet They Were United in the Hatred of Those Who Had Entered into a Covenant to Destroy the Government”

W. Cleon Skousen

Jacob saw that the various tribes were independent and determined to not let Jacob become the king over the whole nation. Jacob therefore decided to flee to the land northward. There he planned to rally dissenters to him through flattery until he could conquer the rest of the Nephites.
