Sherrizah

'Sherrizah is a location in the Book of Mormon. In the Book of Moroni, Moroni copies a second letter that his father Mormon has written to him prior to being killed by the Lamanites. In it, he explains the plight of the widows of Sherrizah. Having fled to a tower, the Lamanites came and killed all the men and fathers. Then cruely forced the women and children to eat their fathers flesh and little else. After the Lamanites left, the widows of the land suffered greatly. Their food was taken first by the Lamanites and then Zenephi and his armies. Left with no food, many wandered and died. In his letter, Mormon cites that he can do nothing, for the Lamanites are between him and the land and his army is weak. [1]
