According to the Book of Mormon, Moronihah (/ˌmoʊroʊˈnaɪhɑː/;[1] 1st century BC) was the son of Captain Moroni who had defeated the armies of Zerahemnah, stopped the king-men, and restored the Nephites' cities to their possession.
When the Nephite dissenter Coriantumr invaded a couple years later, however, Moronihah was taken by surprise as Coriantumr attacked the center of the land, Zarahmela, rather than the fortified borders.
He then sent Lehi with an army to cut off the dissenters and the Lamanites, and Coriantumr was killed in the battle, along with many others.
Moronihah himself retook possession of Zarahemla, and set at liberty the Lamanite prisoners the Nephites had captured there.
