Alma 46:29

And it came to pass that when Amalickiah saw

that the people of Moroni were more numerous than the Amalickiahites —

and he also saw that his people were doubtful

concerning the justice of the cause in which they had undertaken —

therefore, fearing that he should not gain the point,

he took those of his people who would and departed into the land of Nephi.

Alma 47:5

And now he had got the command of those parts of the Lamanites

who were in favor of the king;

and he sought to gain favor of those who were not obedient;

therefore he went forward to the place which was called Onidah,

for thither had all the Lamanites fled;

for they discovered the army coming,

and, supposing that they were coming to destroy them,

therefore they fled to Onidah, to the place of arms.

Alma 47:8

Now it was not Amalickiah's intention

to give them battle according to the commandments of the king;

but behold, it was his intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites,

that he might place himself at their head

and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.
