Book of Mormon Alma 21:4
"for they had built synagogues after the order of the Nehors; for many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites were after the order of the Nehors."
Book of Mormon Alma 24:28
"Now the greatest number of those of the Lamanites who slew so many of their brethren were Amalekites and Amulonites, the greatest number of whom were after the order of the Nehors."

Shared words: were after the order of the Nehors

The plural form “the Nehors” stands at exactly these two verses in the corpus (word-bounded search), and both bind the same two peoples to it: 21:4 has the Amalekites and Amulonites worshipping “after the order of the Nehors” at Aaron's arrival; 24:28 counts the same two peoples, so ordered, as the chief slayers of the converted Lamanites. The singular family — “of the order of Nehor” (Alma 24:29), “after the order and faith of Nehor” (Alma 14:16) — and Nehor's own account (Alma 1) are treated on Cited & Minor Figures.
