Alma 46:30

Now Moroni thought it was not expedient

that the Lamanites should have any more strength;

therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah,

or to take them and bring them back,

and put Amalickiah to death;

yea, for he knew that he would stir up the Lamanites to anger against them,

and cause them to come to battle against them;

and this he knew that Amalickiah would do

that he might obtain his purposes.

Alma 46:31

Therefore Moroni thought it was expedient

that he should take his armies,

who had gathered themselves together, and armed themselves,

and entered into a covenant to keep the peace —

and it came to pass that

he took his army and marched out with his tents into the wilderness,

to cut off the course of Amalickiah in the wilderness.

Alma 47:12

And it came to pass that when Amalickiah found

that he could not get Lehonti to come down off from the mount,

he went up into the mount, nearly to Lehonti's camp;

and he sent again the fourth time his message unto Lehonti,

desiring that he would come down,

and that he would bring his guards with him.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.
