2 Nephi 18:3–4

And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me:

“Call his name, Maher–shalal–hash–baz.

“For behold,
the child shall not have knowledge to cry:
“My father, and my mother”
before the riches of Damascus
and the spoil of Samaria
shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.”
