A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zeezrom (II)

by George Reynolds

ZEEZROM. A Nephite city on their southwest frontier, probably a short distance west of Manti. In the great war between the Nephite commonwealth and Amalickiah, Zeezrom fell into the hands of the Lamanites. It was in their possession when Helaman arrived in that region with his army of young Ammonites (B. C. 66). This is the only time that this city is mentioned by name, but it doubtless was captured by the Lamanites more than once in their successful invasions of Zarahemla in later years.
