Alma 46:13

And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate, and his shields,

and girded on his armor about his loins;

and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat,

(and he called it the title of liberty)

and he bowed himself to the earth,

and he prayed mightily unto his God

for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren,

so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land —

Alma 46:21

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

that they would not forsake the Lord their God;

or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 48:8

Yea, he had been strengthening the armies of the Nephites,

and erecting small forts, or places of resort;

throwing up banks of earth round about to enclose his armies,

and also building walls of stone to encircle them about,

round about their cities and the borders of their lands;

yea, all round about the land.

Alma 49:2

And behold, the city had been rebuilt,

and Moroni had stationed an army by the borders of the city,

and they had cast up dirt round about

to shield them from the arrows and the stones of the Lamanites;

for behold, they fought with stones and with arrows.

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

Alma 49:13

For they knew not that Moroni had fortified,

or had built forts of security, for every city in all the land round about;

therefore, they marched forward to the land of Noah with a firm determination;

yea, their chief captains came forward and took an oath

that they would destroy the people of that city.

Alma 49:18

Now behold, the Lamanites could not get into their forts of security

by any other way save by the entrance,

because of the highness of the bank which had been thrown up,

and the depth of the ditch which had been dug round about,

save it were by the entrance.

Alma 49:24

There were about fifty who were wounded,

who had been exposed to the arrows of the Lamanites through the pass,

but they were shielded by their shields, and their breastplates, and their head-plates,

insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs,

many of which were very severe.
