Alma 52:4

And it came to pass that

he did command that his people should maintain those cities,

which they had taken by the shedding of blood;

for they had not taken any cities save they had lost much blood.

Alma 53:11

And because of their oath

they had been kept from taking up arms against their brethren;

for they had taken an oath that they never would shed blood more;

and according to their oath they would have perished;

had it not been for the pity and the exceeding love

which Ammon and his brethren had had for them.

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.
