and they were all Amalekites and Zoramites.



Alma 43:20

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;

that they should not cross.

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.

was the duty which they owed to their God;

for the Lord had said unto them, and also unto their fathers,

that: Inasmuch as ye are not guilty of the first offense, neither the second,

ye shall not suffer yourselves to be slain by the hands of your enemies.
