Alma 3:20

Now it came to pass that not many days after the battle

which was fought in the land of Zarahemla, by the Lamanites and the Amlicites,

that there was another army of the Lamanites came in upon the people of Nephi,

in the same place where the first army met the Amlicites.


Alma 3:21

And it came to pass that there was an army sent to drive them out of their land.


Alma 3:22

Now Alma himself being afflicted with a wound

did not go up to battle at this time against the Lamanites;


Alma 3:23

But he sent up a numerous army against them;

and they went up and slew many of the Lamanites,

and drove the remainder of them out of the borders of their land.


Alma 3:24

And then they returned again

and began to establish peace in the land,

being troubled no more for a time with their enemies.


Alma 3:25

Now all these things were done,

yea, all these wars and contentions

were commenced and ended in the fifth year of the reign of the judges.


Alma 3:26

And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls

sent to the eternal world,

that they might reap their rewards according to their works,

whether they were good or whether they were bad,

to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery,

according to the spirit which they listed to obey,

whether it be a good spirit or a bad one.


Alma 3:27

For every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey,

and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy;

therefore let it be according to the truth.

And thus endeth the fifth year of the reign of the judges.
