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;

which had not fallen into the hands of the Lamanites.

And it came to pass that

after the Lamanites had finished burying their dead

and also the dead of the Nephites,

they were marched back into the land Bountiful;

that they should commence laboring

in digging a ditch round about the land, or the city, Bountiful.

upon the inner bank of the ditch;

and they cast up dirt out of the ditch against the breastwork of timbers;

until they had encircled the city of Bountiful round about

with a strong wall of timbers and earth, to an exceeding height.
