Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 9:4
"an account of the reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people"

Shared words: the reign of the kings

Jacob 1:11 reads the plural 'reigns of the kings' (inflected, not exact); 1 Nephi 9:4 carries the exact singular 'the reign of the kings' (twice in-verse), matching Mosiah 29:47 verbatim. Reign-of-the-kings language, singular and plural, is institutional vocabulary from the record's beginning: full corpus occurrences 1 Nephi 9:4 (x2 in-verse), Jacob 1:9, 1:11, 1:14 (plural), Mosiah 29:47. Jacob's three plural uses remain the supporting field; Mosiah 29:47 formally ends the era under the name 1 Nephi 9:4 opened it with.
