Alma 48:24,

Alma 49:22



Alma 48:24

Nevertheless, they could not suffer to lay down their lives,

that their wives and their children should be massacred

by the barbarous cruelty of those who were once their brethren,

yea, and had dissented from their church,

and had left them and had gone to destroy them by joining 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.
