Alma 51:5

And it came to pass that those who were desirous

that Pahoran should be dethroned from the judgment-seat

were called king-men,

to overthrow the free government and to establish a king over the land.

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.

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.
