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 58:19

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.
