Alma 48:14

Now the Nephites were taught to defend themselves against their enemies,

even to the shedding of blood if it were necessary;

yea, and never to raise the sword

except it were against an enemy,

except it were to preserve their lives.

And also, that God would make it known unto them

whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies,

and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them;

not in the shedding of blood

but in doing good, in preserving his people,

yea, in keeping the commandments of God,

yea, and resisting iniquity.
