And now, Zerahemnah, I command you,
in the name of that all-powerful God, who has strengthened our arms
that we have gained power over you, by our faith,
by our religion, and by our rites of worship, and by our church,
and by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children,
by that liberty which binds us to our lands and our country;
yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God,
to which we owe all our happiness;
and by all that is most dear unto us —
Alma 44:6

and come not again to war against us.

behold, ye are in our hands,

yea, we will see who shall be brought into bondage.

he came forth and delivered up his sword and his cimeter, and his bow
into the hands of Moroni,
and said unto him:
Behold, here are our weapons of war;
we will deliver them up unto you,
but we will not suffer ourselves to take an oath unto you,
which we know that we shall break, and also our children;
but take our weapons of war,
and suffer that we may depart into the wilderness;
otherwise we will retain our swords,
and we will perish or conquer.

Behold, we are not of your faith;
we do not believe that it is God that has delivered us into your hands;
but we believe that it is your cunning that has preserved you from our swords.
Behold, it is your breastplates and your shields that have preserved you.
