EspañolZORAM
There are three individuals named 'Zoram' in the ''Book of Mormon'', indexed in the LDS edition as Zoram1, Zoram2 and Zoram3.
'Zoram1' was the servant of Laban, a wealthy inhabitant of Jerusalem. According to ''First Nephi'', Zoram led Nephi, disguised as Laban, into Laban's treasury. Nephi, speaking "in the voice of Laban" () commanded Zoram to take the brass plates containing "a record of the Jews" () to his brethren. Zoram, "supposing that [he] spake of the brethren of the church" () took the plates and carried them to where Nephi's brothers were waiting. When he discovered the truth, Zoram was frightened but Nephi persuaded him that he had no need to fear. Zoram swore allegiance to them and was permitted to accompany Nephi and his brethren.
'Zoram2' was a chief captain of the Nephite army, mentioned in only two verses in the ''Book of Mormon'' (). He sought the guidance of Alma, the high priest, in locating Nephites that had been captured by the Lamanites, his son Lehi joining him. He also won a victory over the Lamanites after crossing the river Sidon. (alma 16:7)
