Alma 52:20

And it came to pass that they sent embassies to the army of the Lamanites, which protected the city of Mulek, to their leader, whose name was Jacob, desiring him that he would come out with his armies to meet them upon the plains, between the two cities. But behold, Jacob, which was a Zoramite, would not come out with his army to meet them upon the plains.

They sent messengers to the Lamanite army that protected the city of Mulek. Their leader’s name was Jacob. They asked him to come out with his armies to meet them on the open land between the two cities. But Jacob was a Zoramite. He would not come out with his army to meet them on the open land.
