towards their brethren, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi,

to defend themselves against the Lamanites.

and ye behold that he has delivered you into our hands.

And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.

except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith.

behold, ye are in our hands,

and I will command my men that they shall fall upon you,

and inflict the wounds of death in your bodies,

that ye may become extinct;

and then we will see who shall have power over this people;

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

Alma 44:8

And now it came to pass that when Zerahemnah had heard these sayings

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.

Alma 44:9

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.

and it broke by the hilt;

and he also smote Zerahemnah

that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth.

And Zerahemnah withdrew from before them into the midst of his soldiers.

Alma 44:15

Now there were many, when they heard these words

and saw the scalp which was upon the sword,

that were struck with fear;

and many came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni,

and entered into a covenant of peace.

And as many as entered into a covenant

they suffered to depart into the wilderness.
