"After there had been"

1. W of M 1: 15-16
   15 And it came to pass that after there had been false Christs, and their mouths had been shut, and they punished according to their crimes;
   16 And after there had been false prophets, and false preachers and teachers among the people, and all these having been punished according to their crimes; and after there having been much contention and many dissensions away unto the Lamanites, behold, it came to pass that king Benjamin, with the assistance of the holy prophets who were among his people—
2. Hel. 3: 17
   17 And now I return again to mine account; therefore, what I have spoken had passed after there had been great contentions, and disturbances, and wars, and dissensions, among the people of Nephi.
