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 55:16

And now this was according to the design of Moroni.

And Moroni had prepared his men with weapons of war;

and he went to the city Gid,

while the Lamanites were in a deep sleep and drunken,

and cast in weapons of war unto the prisoners,

insomuch that they were all armed;

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 55:24

Now behold, this was the desire of Moroni.

He took them prisoners of war, and took possession of the city,

and caused that all the prisoners should be liberated, who were Nephites;

and they did join the army of Moroni, and were a great strength to his army.
