Alma 54:4

Therefore he wrote an epistle, and sent it by the servant of Ammoron,

the same who had brought an epistle to Moroni.

Now these are the words which he wrote unto Ammoron, saying:

Alma 54:7

Yea, I would tell you these things

if ye were capable of hearkening unto them;

yea, I would tell you concerning that awful hell

that awaits to receive such murderers as thou and thy brother have been,

except ye repent and withdraw your murderous purposes,

and return with your armies to your own lands.

Alma 54:8

But as ye have once rejected these things,

and have fought against the people of the Lord,

even so I may expect you will do it again.

Alma 54:11

But behold, it supposeth me that I talk to you concerning these things in vain;

or it supposeth me that thou art a child of hell;

therefore I will close my epistle by telling you

that I will not exchange prisoners, save it be on conditions

that ye will deliver up a man and his wife and his children, for one prisoner;

if this be the case that ye will do it, I will exchange.

Alma 54:15

Now it came to pass that Ammoron, when he had received this epistle,

was angry; and he wrote another epistle unto Moroni,

and these are the words which he wrote, saying:

Alma 54:22

And if it so be that there is a devil and a hell,

behold will he not send you there

to dwell with my brother whom ye have murdered,

whom ye have hinted that he hath gone to such a place?

But behold these things matter not.

Alma 55:4

And now it came to pass that when Moroni had said these words,

he caused that a search should be made among his men,

that perhaps he might find a man

who was a descendant of Laman among them.

Alma 55:9

Now when the Lamanites heard these words

they received him with joy;

and they said unto him:

Give us of your wine, that we may drink;

we are glad that ye have thus taken wine with you

for we are weary.

Alma 55:23

And thus they saw that the Nephites had power over them;

and in these circumstances they found that it was not expedient

that they should fight with the Nephites;

therefore their chief captains demanded their weapons of war,

and they brought them forth and cast them at the feet of the Nephites,

pleading for mercy.

Alma 55:29

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

but in these attempts they did lose many prisoners.
