Onidah

 

Onidah

This is the place of Onidah. In other parts of the Book of Mormon, places are referred to as lands. Due to the practice of naming a land by the same name as the city, it is presumed to also be the city of Onidah. Onidah was near (and possibly borders) the land of Nephi.

Commentaries (view it on a map)

ALMA 21:84 [47:5]: Therefore he went forward to the place which was called Onidah, for thither had all the Lamanites fled; for they discovered the army coming, and supposing that they were coming to destroy them, therefore they fled to Onidah, to the place of arms.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Nephi and Onidah. The term 'he' refers to Amalickiah. Onidah is near the land of Nephi.

ALMA 21:86 [47:7]: And it came to pass that they had gathered themselves together upon the top of the mount which was called Antipas, in preparation to battle.

Commentary: This verse references the places of mount Antipas and Onidah. The term 'they' refers to Lamanites that were not obedient to the king. Mount Antipas is in Onidah

ALMA 21:88 [47:9]: And behold, it came to pass that he caused his army to pitch their tents in the valley which was near the mount Antipas.

Commentary: This verse references the places of mount Antipas, Onidah, and the valley near mount Antipas. The term 'he' refers to Amalickiah. There is a valley near mount Antipas in the place of Onidah. A valley indicates a river.

ALMA 21:101 [47:20]: And it came to pass that Amalickiah marched with his armies (for he had gained his desires) to the land of Nephi, to the city of Nephi, which was the chief city.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Nephi and Onidah. Amalickiah marched from Onidah to the city of Nephi. This indicates that Onidah is probably near the land of Nephi. Because of the fleeing from the land of Nephi to Onidah and the marching from Onidah to the land of Nephi, Onidah may border the land of Nephi.
