The Book of Mormon

Alma 62:36

1830 Edition

And it came to pass that Teancum, in his anger, did go forth into the camp of the Lamanites, and did let himself down over the walls of the city. And he went forth with a cord, from place to place, insomuch that he did find the king; and he did cast a javelin at him, which did pierce him near the heart.—But behold, the king did awake his servant before he died, insomuch that they did pursue Teancum, and slew him.
