II NEPHI 9:111 [20:30]: Lift up the voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Commentary: This verse references the places of Anathoth, Gallim, and Laish. These are places, but there is insufficient information to locate these places. They are mentioned in the same verse, but they are not mentioned using grammar that is common to other lists. If they do form a list, they would all be located in the same general area and next to each other. Biblical scholars locate these places north of Jerusalem and they are located adjacent to each other.
