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 47:8
Now it was not Amalickiah's intention
to give them battle according to the commandments of the king;
but behold, it was his intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites,
that he might place himself at their head
and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.
Alma 47:16
And it came to pass that he delivered his men,
contrary to the commands of the king.
Now this was the thing that Amalickiah desired,
that he might accomplish his designs in dethroning the king.
