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 46:31

Therefore Moroni thought it was expedient

that he should take his armies,

who had gathered themselves together, and armed themselves,

and entered into a covenant to keep the peace —

and it came to pass that

he took his army and marched out with his tents into the wilderness,

to cut off the course of Amalickiah in the wilderness.
