Alma 49:3

Behold, I said that the city of Ammonihah had been rebuilt.

I say unto you, yea, that it was in part rebuilt;

because of the iniquity of the people,

they supposed that it would again become an easy prey for them.

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 49:7

And being thus prepared

they supposed that they should easily overpower

and subject their brethren to the yoke of bondage,

or slay and massacre them according to their pleasure.
