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 49:6

Now the leaders of the Lamanites had supposed,

because of the greatness of their numbers,

yea, they supposed that they should be privileged

to come upon them as they had hitherto done;

yea, and they had also prepared themselves with shields, and with breastplates;

and they had also prepared themselves with garments of skins,

yea, very thick garments to cover their nakedness.

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.
