Alma 53:21

Alma 52:28

And now behold, when the chief captains of the Lamanites had beheld Lehi

with his army coming against them,

they fled in much confusion,

lest perhaps they should not obtain the city Mulek

before Lehi should overtake them;

for they were wearied because of their march,

and the men of Lehi were fresh.

Alma 52:31

And it came to pass that before the Lamanites had retreated far

they were surrounded by the Nephites,

by the men of Moroni on one hand, and the men of Lehi on the other,

all of whom were fresh and full of strength;

but the Lamanites were wearied because of their long march.

Alma 52:34

Moroni being in their course of march,

therefore Jacob was determined to slay them

and cut his way through to the city of Mulek.

But behold, Moroni and his men were more powerful;

therefore they did not give way before the Lamanites.

Alma 53:21

Yea, they were men of truth and soberness,

for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God

and to walk uprightly before him.
