Alma 56:37

Yea, even to a considerable distance,

insomuch that when they saw the army of Antipus pursuing them, with their might,

they did not turn to the right nor to the left,

but pursued their march in a straight course after us;

and, as we suppose, it was their intent to slay us

before Antipus should overtake them,

and this that they might not be surrounded by our people.

Alma 57:9

And it came to pass that we did camp round about the city for many nights;

but we did sleep upon our swords, and keep guards,

that the Lamanites could not come upon us by night and slay us,

which they attempted many times;

but as many times as they attempted this their blood was spilt.

Alma 58:19

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did follow after us with great speed,

for they were exceedingly desirous to overtake us that they might slay us;

therefore they did follow us into the wilderness;

and we did pass by in the midst of Gid and Teomner,

insomuch that they were not discovered by the Lamanites.
