Alma 24:17

And now it came to pass that

when the king had made an end of these sayings,

and all the people were assembled together,

they took their swords, and all the weapons

which were used for the shedding of man's blood,

and they did bury them up deep in the earth.

Alma 24:18

And this they did,

it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men,

that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood;

and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that

rather than shed the blood of their brethren

they would give up their own lives;

and rather than take away from a brother

they would give unto him;

and rather than spend their days in idleness

they would labor abundantly with their hands.
