Alma 54:3

Now the Lamanites had taken many women and children,

and there was not a woman nor a child among all the prisoners of Moroni,

or the prisoners whom Moroni had taken;

therefore Moroni resolved upon a stratagem to obtain

as many prisoners of the Nephites from the Lamanites as it were possible.

Alma 54:12

And behold, if ye do not this,

I will come against you with my armies;

yea, even I will arm my women and my children,

and I will come against you,

and I will follow you even into your own land,

which is the land of our first inheritance;

yea, and it shall be blood for blood, yea, life for life;

and I will give you battle

even until you are destroyed from off the face of the earth.

Alma 55:8

And when it was evening

Laman went to the guards who were over the Nephites,

and behold, they saw him coming and they hailed him;

but he saith unto them:

Fear not;

behold, I am a Lamanite.

Behold, we have escaped from the Nephites, and they sleep;

and behold we have taken of their wine and brought with us.

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 55:21

And then he caused the men who were with him

to withdraw a pace from them, and surround the armies of the Lamanites.
