Verses

3 Nephi 3:48 Therefore Jacob seeing that their enemies were more numerous than they, he being the king of the band, therefore he commanded his people that they should take their flight into the northernmost part of the land,

3 Nephi 3:49 And there build up unto themselves a kingdom, until they were joined by dissenters, (for he flattered them that there would be many dissenters,) and they become sufficiently strong to contend with the tribes of the people.

Commentary

Kishkumen was a person mentioned in Helaman 1:9-12 who left Zarahemla for a time. According to how cities were named for the first person that occupied the city, the city of Kishkumen is placed near Zarahemla. The city founded by Jacob was called Jacobugath (refer to III Nephi 4:36, "And behold, that great city Jacobugath, which was inhabited by the people of the king of Jacob"). The only direction from Zarahemla where there was space to found a city was northward from Zarahemla. This puts Jacobugath in the vicinity of present day Palenque.
