Mormon 2:17

And now the city of Jashon was near the land where Ammaron had deposited the records unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed. And behold I had gone according to the word of Ammaron, and taken the plates of Nephi, and did make a record according to the words of Ammaron.

The city of Jashon was near the place where Ammaron had hidden the records. He hid them so they would not be destroyed. I did what Ammaron told me to do. I took the plates of Nephi. I wrote a record just like Ammaron said.

The city of Jashon was close to where Ammaron had hidden the sacred records to keep them safe. I’d done what Ammaron told me—I’d retrieved the plates of Nephi and started keeping a record.
