Alma 55:3, 19, 31

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.

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 55:31

But behold, the Nephites were not slow

to remember the Lord their God in this their time of affliction.

They could not be taken in their snares;

yea, they would not partake of their wine,

save they had first given to some of the Lamanite prisoners.
