in the commencement of the twenty and ninth year of the judges,

that Ammoron sent unto Moroni desiring that he would exchange prisoners.

Alma 54:5

Behold, Ammoron, I have written unto you somewhat

concerning this war which ye have waged against my people,

or rather which thy brother hath waged against them,

and which ye are still determined to carry on after his death.

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 54:15

insomuch that they did rob them of their right to the government

when it rightly belonged unto them.

Behold, I will not exchange prisoners with Ammoron

save he will withdraw his purpose, as I have stated in my epistle;

that he shall have any more power than what he hath got.

Alma 55:3

Behold, I know the place where the Lamanites do guard my people

whom they have taken prisoners;

and as Ammoron would not grant unto me mine epistle,

behold, I will give unto him according to my words;

yea, I will seek death among them until they shall sue for peace.

Fear not;

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

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.

Let us keep of our wine till we go against the Nephites to battle.

You may do according to your desires.

while the Lamanites were in a deep sleep and drunken,

insomuch that they were all armed;
