Alma 50:1

And now it came to pass that

Moroni did not stop making preparations for war,

or to defend his people against the Lamanites;

for he caused that his armies should commence

in the commencement of the twentieth year of the reign of the judges,

that they should commence in digging up heaps of earth

round about all the cities, throughout all the land

which was possessed by the Nephites.

Alma 50:14

And they also began a foundation for a city

between the city of Moroni and the city of Aaron,

joining the borders of Aaron and Moroni;

and they called the name of the city, or the land, Nephihah.

Alma 50:21

And we see that these promises have been verified to the people of Nephi;

for it has been their quarrelings and their contentions,

yea, their murderings, and their plunderings,

their idolatry, their whoredoms, and their abominations,

which were among themselves,

which brought upon them their wars and their destructions.

Alma 50:25

And it came to pass that in the commencement

of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges,

there would also have been peace among the people of Nephi

had it not been for a contention which took place among them

concerning the land of Lehi, and the land of Morianton,

which joined upon the borders of Lehi;

both of which were on the borders by the seashore.

Alma 50:26

for behold, the people who possessed the land of Morianton

did claim a part of the land of Lehi;

therefore there began to be a warm contention between them,

insomuch that the people of Morianton took up arms against their brethren,

and they were determined by the sword to slay them.

Alma 50:27

But behold, the people who possessed the land of Lehi

fled to the camp of Moroni,

and appealed unto him for assistance;

for behold they were not in the wrong.

Alma 50:32

Now behold, the people who were in the land Bountiful,

or rather Moroni, feared

that they would hearken to the words of Morianton and unite with his people,

and thus he would obtain possession of those parts of the land,

which would lay a foundation for serious consequences

among the people of Nephi,

yea, which consequences would lead to the overthrow of their liberty.
