Alma 45:14

But whosoever remaineth, and is not destroyed in that great and dreadful day,

shall be numbered among the Lamanites,

and shall become like unto them,

all, save it be a few who shall be called the disciples of the Lord;

and them shall the Lamanites pursue

even until they shall become extinct.

And now, because of iniquity, this prophecy shall be fulfilled.

Alma 45:21

For behold, because of their wars with the Lamanites

and the many little dissensions and disturbances

which had been among the people,

it became expedient that the word of God should be declared among them,

yea, and that a regulation should be made throughout the church.

Alma 46:7

And there were many in the church

who believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah,

therefore they dissented even from the church;

and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi

exceedingly precarious and dangerous,

notwithstanding their great victory which they had had over the Lamanites,

and their great rejoicings which they had had

because of their deliverance by the hand of the Lord.

Alma 47:1

Now we will return in our record to Amalickiah

and those who had fled with him into the wilderness;

for, behold, he had taken those who went with him,

and went up in the land of Nephi among the Lamanites,

and did stir up the Lamanites to anger against the people of Nephi,

insomuch that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation

throughout all his land, among all his people,

that they should gather themselves together again

to go to battle against the Nephites.

Alma 47:35

And it came to pass that

Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and took her unto him to wife;

and thus by his fraud, and by the assistance of his cunning servants,

he obtained the kingdom;

yea, he was acknowledged king throughout all the land,

among all the people of the Lamanites,

who were composed of the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites,

and all the dissenters of the Nephites,

from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.

Alma 48:3

Therefore he had accomplished his design,

for he had hardened the hearts of the Lamanites and blinded their minds,

and stirred them up to anger,

insomuch that he had gathered together a numerous host

to go to battle against the Nephites.
