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.

to cut off the course of Amalickiah in the wilderness.

Alma 47:8

Now it was not Amalickiah's intention

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

and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.

for he desired to speak with him.

And now it came to pass that the queen,

when she had heard that the king was slain —

for Amalickiah had sent an embassy to the queen informing her

that the king had been slain by his servants,

that he had pursued them with his army,

but it was in vain, and they had made their escape —

Alma 49:3

Behold, I said that the city of Ammonihah had been rebuilt.

I say unto you, yea, that it was in part rebuilt;

because of the iniquity of the people,

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

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

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 49:15

And now, behold, this was wisdom in Moroni;

for he had supposed that they would be frightened at the city Ammonihah;

and as the city of Noah had hitherto been the weakest part of the land,

therefore they would march thither to battle;

and thus it was according to his desires.

Alma 49:16

And behold, Moroni had appointed Lehi

to be chief captain over the men of that city;

and it was that same Lehi who fought with the Lamanites

in the valley on the east of the river Sidon.
