Ether 15:15

And it came to pass that when they were all gathered together,

every one to the army which he would,

with their wives and their children —

having shields, and breastplates, and head-plates,

and being clothed after the manner of war —

they did march forth one against another to battle;

and they fought all that day, and conquered not.

and so great were their cries, their howlings and lamentations,

that they did rend the air exceedingly.

again they did rend the air

for the loss of the slain of their people.

wherefore they went again to battle.
