And now behold, it came to pass in the commencement of the fortieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, there began to be a serious difficulty among the people of the Nephites. For behold, Pahoran had died, and gone the way of all the earth; therefore there began to be a serious contention concerning who should have the judgment–seat among the brethren, who were the sons of Pahoran.
Now these are their names who did contend for the judgment–seat, who did also cause the people to contend: Pahoran, Paanchi, and Pacumeni. Now these are not all the sons of Pahoran, (for he had many) but these are they who did contend for the judgment–seat; therefore, they did cause three divisions among the people.
