Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

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 49:11

But behold, Amalickiah did not come down himself to battle.

And behold, his chief captains durst not attack

the Nephites at the city of Ammonihah,

for Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites,

insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat

and they could not come upon them.
