Alma 52:8

And Moroni also sent orders unto him

that he should retain all the prisoners who fell into his hands;

for as the Lamanites had taken many prisoners,

that he should retain all the prisoners of the Lamanites

as a ransom for those whom the Lamanites had taken.

Alma 52:10

And Moroni also sent unto him, desiring him

that he would be faithful in maintaining that quarter of the land,

and that he would seek every opportunity

to scourge the Lamanites in that quarter, as much as was in his power,

that perhaps he might take again by stratagem or some other way

those cities which had been taken out of their hands;

and that he also would fortify and strengthen the cities round about,

which had not fallen into the hands of the Lamanites.

Alma 52:35

And it came to pass that they fought on both hands with exceeding fury;

and there were many slain on both sides;

yea, and Moroni was wounded and Jacob was killed.

Alma 53:5

And this city became an exceeding stronghold ever after;

and in this city they did guard the prisoners of the Lamanites;

yea, even within a wall which they had caused them to build with their own hands.

Now Moroni was compelled to cause the Lamanites to labor,

because it was easy to guard them while at their labor;

and he desired all his forces when he should make an attack upon the Lamanites.

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;

yea, they would have suffered themselves

to have fallen into the hands of their brethren,

had it not been for the pity and the exceeding love

which Ammon and his brethren had had for them.
