Book of Mormon Mosiah 25:13
"all the people of Zarahemla were numbered with the Nephites, and this because the kingdom had been conferred upon none but those who were descendants of Nephi"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 4:11
"And thy seed shall be numbered with his seed"

'numbered with' occurs at five verses in the record (2 Nephi 4:11; Mosiah 14:12 [Abinadi's Isaiah 53:12 quotation]; 18:9; 25:13; 3 Nephi 30:2) and nine across the frozen corpus (adding the Isaiah 53:12 original, Acts 1:17, 1:26, Mark 15:28); only these two merge one lineage/people into another, and in both the receiving line is Nephi's - Sam's seed by blessing, the more numerous people of Zarahemla by census with descent-from-Nephi kingship as the stated reason. The text draws no link between the two mergers. Bonus distributional fact carried on page: 'the people of Zarahemla' occurs at Omni 1:14,15,19,21; Mosiah 1:10; 25:2,3,4,13; and once more at Alma 22:30. Distinct pairing from jac-sam-notribe (2 Nephi 4:11 <-> Jacob 1:13, sam.md).
