And now ye also know concerning the covenant which their fathers made,

that they would not take up their weapons of war

against their brethren to shed blood.

Alma 56:40

Now they durst not turn to the right nor to the left lest they should be surrounded;

neither would I turn to the right nor to the left lest they should overtake me,

and we could not stand against them, but be slain,

and they would make their escape;

and thus we did flee all that day into the wilderness,

even until it was dark.

Alma 56:46

For as I had ever called them my sons

(for they were all of them very young)

even so they said unto me:

Father, behold our God is with us,

and he will not suffer that we should fall;

then let us go forth;

we would not slay our brethren if they would let us alone;

therefore let us go, lest they should overpower the army of Antipus.

Alma 56:50

The army of Antipus being weary,

because of their long march in so short a space of time,

were about to fall into the hands of the Lamanites;

and had I not returned with my two thousand

they would have obtained their purpose.

Alma 57:14

For behold, they would break out in great numbers,

and would fight with stones, and with clubs,

or whatsoever thing they could get into their hands,

insomuch that we did slay upwards of two thousand of them

after they had surrendered themselves prisoners of war.
