Alma 51:28 - Alma 51:37
Duration: 1:46
Alma 51:28
And it came to pass that they marched to the borders of the land Bountiful,
driving the Nephites before them and slaying many.
Alma 51:29
But it came to pass that they were met by Teancum,
who had slain Morianton and had headed his people in his flight.
Alma 51:30
And it came to pass that he headed Amalickiah also,
as he was marching forth with his numerous army
that he might take possession of the land Bountiful, and also the land northward.
Alma 51:31
But behold he met with a disappointment
by being repulsed by Teancum and his men,
for they were great warriors;
for every man of Teancum did exceed the Lamanites
in their strength and in their skill of war,
insomuch that they did gain advantage over the Lamanites.
Alma 51:32
And it came to pass that they did harass them,
insomuch that they did slay them even until it was dark.
And it came to pass that
Teancum and his men did pitch their tents in the borders of the land Bountiful;
and Amalickiah did pitch his tents in the borders on the beach by the seashore,
and after this manner were they driven.
Alma 51:33
And it came to pass that when the night had come,
Teancum and his servant stole forth and went out by night,
and went into the camp of Amalickiah;
and behold, sleep had overpowered them
because of their much fatigue,
which was caused by the labors and heat of the day.
Alma 51:34
And it came to pass that Teancum stole privily into the tent of the king,
and put a javelin to his heart;
and he did cause the death of the king immediately
that he did not awake his servants.
Alma 51:35
And he returned again privily to his own camp,
and behold, his men were asleep,
and he awoke them and told them all the things that he had done.
Alma 51:36
And he caused that his armies should stand in readiness,
lest the Lamanites had awakened and should come upon them.
Alma 51:37
And thus endeth the twenty and fifth year
of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi;
and thus endeth the days of Amalickiah.
