as though they had been the cause of his fall,

should take them and slay them.

And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land,

amongst all his people who were in all his land,

who were in all the regions round about,

which was bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west,

and which was divided from the land of Zarahemla

by a narrow strip of wilderness, which ran from the sea east even to the sea west,

and round about on the borders of the seashore, and the borders of the wilderness

which was on the north by the land of Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti,

by the head of the river Sidon, running from the east towards the west —

and thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

Alma 22:30

And it bordered upon the land which they called Desolation,

it being so far northward that it came into the land

which had been peopled and been destroyed,

of whose bones we have spoken,

which was discovered by the people of Zarahemla,

it being the place of their first landing.

Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation,

and the land on the southward was called Bountiful,

it being the wilderness which is filled

with all manner of wild animals of every kind,

a part of which had come from the land northward for food.

on the line Bountiful and the land Desolation,

from the east to the west sea;

were nearly surrounded by water,

there being a small neck of land

between the land northward and the land southward.

Alma 22:34

Therefore the Lamanites could have no more possessions

only in the land of Nephi, and the wilderness round about.

and also that they might have a country

whither they might flee, according to their desires.
