- The new Lamanite King, Tubaloth (Ammoron’s son), appoints a man named Coriantumr to lead the Lamanite military.
- Coriantumr gathers and equips an enormous army, and marches towards Zarahemla.
- Because of the recent political troubles among the Nephites, Zarahemla is poorly guarded.
- Coriantumr’s army storms Zarahemla with surprising speed, killing anyone in their way; Pacumeni tries to escape, but Coriantumr kills him first.
- Once Coriantumr realizes he is in total control of Zarahemla, he decides to expand his siege by invading the city of Bountiful.
- Moronihah hadn’t fortified Zarahemla very much, thinking that the Lamanites wouldn’t dare invade the capital city.
- Moronihah sends troops to ambush Coriantumr as he approaches Bountiful; Coriantumr begins to retreat back to Zarahemla, but Moronihah is waiting with more troops.
- An awful battle breaks out, in which Coriantumr dies.
- The surviving Lamanites, finding themselves surrounded by Nephites, surrender, and they are sent back to the land of Nephi. Zarahemla is regained by the Nephites.
