Alma 24:5

Now when Ammon and his brethren and all those who had come up with him

saw the preparations of the Lamanites to destroy their brethren,

they came forth to the land of Midian,

and there Ammon met all his brethren;

and from thence they came to the land of Ishmael

that they might hold a council with Lamoni

and also with his brother Anti-Nephi-Lehi,

what they should do to defend themselves against the Lamanites.

Alma 24:16

And now, my brethren, if our brethren seek to destroy us,

behold, we will hide away our swords,

yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth,

that they may be kept bright,

as a testimony that we have never used them,

at the last day;

and if our brethren destroy us,

behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved.

with mighty threatenings to destroy his church.

Alma 26:26

But behold, my beloved brethren, we came into the wilderness

not with the intent to destroy our brethren,

but with the intent that perhaps we might save some few of their souls.
