Alma 44:2, 6, 11

Alma 44:2

Behold, we have not come out to battle against you

that we might shed your blood for power;

neither do we desire to bring any one to the yoke of bondage.

But this is the very cause for which ye have come against us;

yea, and ye are angry with us because of our religion.

Alma 44:6

Yea, and this is not all;

I command you by all the desires which ye have for life,

that ye deliver up your weapons of war unto us,

and we will seek not your blood,

but we will spare your lives, if ye will go your way

and come not again to war against us.

Alma 44:11

Now I cannot recall the words which I have spoken,

therefore as the Lord liveth, ye shall not depart

except ye depart with an oath

that ye will not return again against us to war.

Now as ye are in our hands

we will spill your blood upon the ground,

or ye shall submit to the conditions which I have proposed.
