II NEPHI 10:19 [23:19]: And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldee's excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Babylon, Chaldea, Gomorrah, and Sodom. This verse also occurs in Isaiah 13:19. The phrase 'the beauty of the' indicates that Babylon is part of Chaldea. Sodom and Gomorrah are mentioned but no information is provided regarding their locations.
