Ishmael had five daughters who left Jerusalem with Lehi’s family for the promised land, traveling with their parents and two brothers after the Lord softened Ishmael’s heart to follow Lehi into the wilderness (1 Nephi 7:5). The Lord had told Lehi that it was not meet for him to take his family into the wilderness alone, but that his sons should take daughters to wife so they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise (1 Nephi 7:1). As the group journeyed, two of the five daughters joined Laman, Lemuel, and the two sons of Ishmael in rebelling against Nephi, Sam, and Ishmael; the other three daughters did not (1 Nephi 7:6). When Laman and Lemuel later sought to kill Nephi, one of the daughters, with her mother and one of her brothers, pleaded with them until they relented and spared Nephi (1 Nephi 7:19).
The daughters married into the company once it had gathered the family: Nephi took one to wife, his brothers took others, and Zoram took the eldest (1 Nephi 16:7).
After their father died, the daughters mourned and murmured against Lehi, saying he had brought them out of Jerusalem to wander and suffer hunger, thirst, and fatigue in the wilderness (1 Nephi 16:35).
