Alma 54:10

But, as the Lord liveth,

our armies shall come upon you except ye withdraw,

and ye shall soon be visited with death,

for we will retain our cities and our lands;

yea, and we will maintain our religion and the cause of our God.

Alma 54:18

And now behold, if ye will lay down your arms,

and subject yourselves to be governed by those

to whom the government doth rightly belong,

then will I cause that my people shall lay down their weapons

and shall be at war no more.

Alma 55:1

Now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this epistle

he was more angry,

because he knew that Ammoron had a perfect knowledge of his fraud;

yea, he knew that Ammoron knew that it was not a just cause

that had caused him to wage a war against the people of Nephi.

Alma 55:19

But behold, this was not the desire of Moroni;

he did not delight in murder or bloodshed,

but he delighted in the saving of his people from destruction;

and for this cause he might not bring upon him injustice,

he would not fall upon the Lamanites and destroy them in their drunkenness.

Alma 55:25

And it came to pass that

he did cause the Lamanites, whom he had taken prisoners,

that they should commence a labor

in strengthening the fortifications round about the city Gid.
