a large portion of their substance to support their armies;

who were Amalekites and Zoramites, and the descendants of the priests of Noah.

Now the army of Zerahemnah was not prepared with any such thing;

they had only their swords and their cimeters,

their bows and their arrows,

their stones and their slings;

yea, all were naked, save it were the Zoramites and the Amalekites;

And they were inspired by the Zoramites and the Amalekites,

who were their chief captains and leaders,

and by Zerahemnah,

who was their chief captain, or their chief leader and commander;

and many of the Nephites were slain by their hands,

yea, for they did smite in two many of their head-plates,

and they did pierce many of their breastplates,

and they did smite off many of their arms;

and thus the Lamanites did smite in their fierce anger.
