Alma 27:2

And it came to pass that

the Amalekites, because of their loss, were exceedingly angry.

And when they saw that they could not seek revenge from the Nephites,

they began to stir up the people in anger

against their brethren, the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi;

therefore they began again to destroy them.

Alma 27:12

Get this people out of this land, that they perish not;

for Satan has great hold on the hearts of the Amalekites,

who do stir up the Lamanites to anger against their brethren to slay them;

therefore get thee out of this land;

and blessed are this people in this generation,

for I will preserve them.

Alma 27:23

And behold, we will set our armies between the land Jershon and the land Nephi,

that we may protect our brethren in the land Jershon;

and this we do for our brethren,

on account of their fear to take up arms against their brethren

lest they should commit sin;

and this their great fear came because of their sore repentance

which they had, on account of their many murders and their awful wickedness.

Alma 27:28

And they did look upon shedding the blood of their brethren

with the greatest abhorrence;

and they never could be prevailed upon to take up arms against their brethren;

and they never did look upon death with any degree of terror,

for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection;

therefore, death was swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it.
