Alma 30:1

Behold, now it came to pass that

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

yea, and also after the Lamanites were driven out of the land,

and their dead were buried by the people of the land —


Alma 30:2

Now their dead were not numbered because of the greatness of their numbers;

neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered —

but it came to pass after they had buried their dead,

and also after the days of fasting, and mourning, and prayer,

(and it was in the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi)

there began to be continual peace throughout all the land.


Alma 30:3

Yea, and the people did observe to keep the commandments of the Lord;

and they were strict in observing the ordinances of God,

according to the law of Moses;

for they were taught to keep the law of Moses until it should be fulfilled.


Alma 30:4

And thus the people did have no disturbance

in all the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.


Alma 30:5

And it came to pass that in the commencement

of the seventeenth year of the reign of the judges,

there was continual peace.
