And it came to pass that when they saw

that we were not strong, according to our numbers,

and fearing that we should cut them off from their support

except they should come out to battle against us and kill us,

and also supposing that they could easily destroy us with their numerous hosts,

therefore they began to make preparations to come out against us to battle.

towards the land of Zarahemla,

they were exceedingly afraid,

lest there was a plan laid to lead them on to destruction;

yea, even back by the same way which they had come.
