1 Nephi 2:1

“because thou hast been faithful and declared unto this people the things which I commanded thee, behold, they seek to take away thy life.”

We learn later that Lehi was quite wealthy, but that wealth could not protect him. Lehi’s obedience put him in immediate danger, but the Lord provides a way out. It was his obedience to the commandments of the Lord that preserved his life.

Note to self: Its more important to seek after obedience than worldly wealth.
