Alma 51:13, 15, 20

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 51:20

And the remainder of those dissenters,

rather than be smitten down to the earth by the sword,

yielded to the standard of liberty,

and were compelled to hoist the title of liberty

upon their towers, and in their cities,

and to take up arms in defence of their country.
