Laban (Book of Mormon)

This article is about a person in the Book of Mormon. For other uses, see Laban (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Laman and Lemuel.
Laban
A man lies on the ground, his eyes shut. He wears clothing with very wide sleeves. A scabbard for a sword is at his belt. One arm rests under his head, as if his pillow. He is fully plunged in the shadow of a wall/building to the left in the image. This man is Laban. This was cropped from the 1894 painting Nephi and Laban by Herman Hugo Haag, the latter being a depiction of the scene from 1 Nephi 4, in the Book of Mormon.

Laban (/ˈleɪbən/)[1] is a figure in the First Book of Nephi, near the start of the Book of Mormon, a scripture of the Latter Day Saint movement. Although he only makes a brief appearance in the Book of Mormon, his brass plates[clarification needed] play an important role when they are taken by Laman and Nephi (often referred to as the "sons of Lehi") and are used by the Nephites.
