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.

Alma 53:17

And they entered into a covenant

to fight for the liberty of the Nephites,

yea, to protect the land

unto the laying down of their lives;

yea, even they covenanted that they never would give up their liberty,

but they would fight in all cases

to protect the Nephites and themselves from bondage.
