Alma 28:1

And now it came to pass that

after the people of Ammon were established in the land of Jershon,

and a church also established in the land

of Jershon,

and the armies of the Nephites were set round about the land of Jershon,

yea, in all the borders round about the land of Zarahemla;

behold the armies of the Lamanites had followed their brethren into the wilderness.

Alma 28:2

And thus there was a tremendous battle;

yea, even such an one as never had been known among all the people in the land

from the time Lehi left Jerusalem;

yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad.

Alma 28:3

Yea, and also there was a tremendous slaughter among the people of Nephi;

nevertheless, the Lamanites were driven and scattered,

and the people of Nephi returned again to their land.

Alma 28:4

And now this was a time that there was a great mourning and lamentation

heard throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi —

Alma 28:5

Yea, the cry of widows mourning for their husbands,

and also of fathers mourning for their sons,

and the daughter for the brother,

yea, the brother for the father;

and thus the cry of mourning was heard among all of them,

mourning for their kindred who had been slain.

Alma 28:6

And now surely this was a sorrowful day;

yea, a time of solemnity, and a time of much fasting and prayer.

Alma 28:7

And thus endeth the fifteenth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi;
