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.

  4  And behold, that great city Moroni have I caused to be ^asunk in the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof to be drowned.

  22  Behold, it came to pass that while ^aMoroni was thus breaking down the wars and contentions among his own people, and subjecting them to peace and civilization, and making regulations to prepare for war against the Lamanites, behold, the Lamanites had come into the ^aland of Moroni, which was in the borders by the seashore.

  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.
