Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 7:14
"they did stone the prophets and did cast them out from among them"
Book of Mormon Helaman 13:24
"ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast stones at them"

Samuel's prophet-rejection anatomy - cast out the prophets, stone them (Helaman 13:24) - is narrated as done in the tribal era's summary verse, 3 Nephi 7:14. Distribution honesty: the stoning+casting-out conjunction predicated of prophets is a RECURRING corpus formula, not a two-verse pair - it stands at 1 Nephi 1:20, 2 Nephi 26:3, Helaman 13:24, 13:25, 13:33 (twice more inside Samuel's own sermon), 3 Nephi 7:14, and 3 Nephi 8:25 (the survivors' mourning confession, 'had not killed and stoned the prophets, and cast them out' - arguably the tightest fulfillment echo, named here). Only the exact phrase 'stone the prophets' is unique to 7:14. The registered ground is therefore prophecy-to-narrated-enactment - Helaman 13:25-26 puts the deed in the people's own predicted mouth, and 7:14 narrates that generation doing it - NOT phrase-distinctiveness. Distinct from 3ne-kj-prophets-slain-by-bench (6:23's institutional judicial murders, kings-and-judges.md, interpretive) - this pair is the popular form.
