Alma 46:21

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

that they would not forsake the Lord their God;

or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 47:15

And it came to pass that when they saw that they were surrounded,

they plead with Amalickiah

that he would suffer them to fall in with their brethren,

that they might not be destroyed.

Now this was the very thing which Amalickiah desired.

Alma 48:21

But, as I have said, in the latter end of the nineteenth year,

yea, notwithstanding their peace amongst themselves,

they were compelled reluctantly to contend with their brethren, the Lamanites.

Alma 49:20

Thus they were prepared,

yea, a body of their strongest men, with their swords and their slings,

to smite down all who should attempt

to come into their place of security by the place of entrance;

and thus were they prepared to defend themselves against the Lamanites.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.
