A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Onidah, Place

by George Reynolds

ONIDAH, PLACE. The gathering place of the dissatisfied Lamanites, led by Lehonti, who refused to give heed to the king's proclamation of war against the Nephites (B. C. 75). Thither the malcontents were followed by Amalickiah and an army. By the latter's strategy and plotting he obtained an interview with Lehonti on Mount Antipas, and arranged to surrender his troops. Onidah is called "the place of arms," and may possibly be the hill Onidah in the land of Antionum, though we are of the opinion that it was not, it being within the borders of the Lamanite possessions. (Alma, 47:5.)
