Alma 55:28

And it came to pass that the Nephites began again to be victorious,

and to reclaim their rights and their privileges.

Alma 55:29

Many times did the Lamanites attempt to encircle them about by night,

but in these attempts they did lose many prisoners.

Alma 55:30

And many times did they attempt to administer of their wine to the Nephites,

that they might destroy them with poison or with drunkenness.

Alma 55:31

But behold, the Nephites were not slow

to remember the Lord their God in this their time of affliction.

They could not be taken in their snares;

yea, they would not partake of their wine,

save they had first given to some of the Lamanite prisoners.

Alma 55:32

And they were thus cautious

that no poison should be administered among them;

for if their wine would poison a Lamanite

it would also poison a Nephite;

and thus they did try all their liquors.

Alma 55:33

And now it came to pass that it was expedient

for Moroni to make preparations to attack the city Morianton;

for behold, the Lamanites had, by their labors, fortified the city Morianton

until it had become an exceeding stronghold.

Alma 55:34

And they were continually bringing new forces into that city,

and also new supplies of provisions.

Alma 55:35

And thus ended the twenty and ninth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
