Alma 51:13

And it came to pass that

when the men who were called king-men had heard

that the Lamanites were coming down to battle against them,

they were glad in their hearts;

and they refused to take up arms,

for they were so wroth with the chief judge,

and also with the people of liberty,

that they would not take up arms to defend their country.

Alma 51:15

And it came to pass that he sent a petition,

with the voice of the people, unto the governor of the land,

desiring that he should read it,

and give him (Moroni) power to compel those dissenters

to defend their country or to put them to death.

Alma 51:25

But it came to pass that Amalickiah would not suffer the Lamanites

to go against the city of Nephihah to battle,

but kept them down by the seashore,

leaving men in every city to maintain and defend it.
