13  And it came to pass that the Nephites began the foundation of a city, and they called the name of the city ^aMoroni; and it was by the east sea; and it was on the south by the line of the possessions of the Lamanites.

  32  And it came to pass that ^aMoroni and his army did pursue them from city to city, until they were met by Lehi and Teancum; and the Lamanites fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the seashore, until they came to the land of Moroni.

  9  And the city of Moroni did sink into the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof were drowned.
