Alma 56:23

For we knew in those cities they were not sufficiently strong to meet them;

therefore we were desirous, if they should pass by us,

to fall upon them in their rear,

and thus bring them up in the rear

at the same time they were met in the front.

We supposed that we could overpower them;

but behold, we were disappointed in this our desire.

Alma 58:9

And now the cause of these our embarrassments,

or the cause why they did not send more strength unto us, we knew not;

therefore we were grieved and also filled with fear,

lest by any means the judgments of God should come upon our land,

to our overthrow and utter destruction.
