Verse 17
Unlike the people of Nephi, the people of Zarahemla didn't have any records. Compare Mosiah 1:3-5 where King Benjamin tells Mosiah that were it not for the records that the Nephites had, their people too would have dwindled in unbelief. It may be that King Benjamin was thinking of the people of Zarahemla when he says this.
