with their swords and their cimeters,

which brought death almost at every stroke.

Alma 43:38

While on the other hand,

there was now and then a man fell among the Nephites,

by their swords and the loss of blood,

they being shielded from the more vital parts of the body,

or the more vital parts of the body being shielded

from the strokes of the Lamanites,

by their breastplates, and their armshields, and their head-plates;

and thus the Nephites did carry on the work of death among the Lamanites.

And now, if ye do not this,

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.

And it came to pass that Moroni caused

that the work of death should cease again among the people.

And he took the weapons of war from the Lamanites;

and after they had entered into a covenant with him of peace

they were suffered to depart into the wilderness.
