Alma 45:21

For behold, because of their wars with the Lamanites

and the many little dissensions and disturbances

which had been among the people,

it became expedient that the word of God should be declared among them,

yea, and that a regulation should be made throughout the church.

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.
