Alma 56:39

And it came to pass that before the dawn of the morning,

behold, the Lamanites were pursuing us.

Now we were not sufficiently strong to contend with them;

yea, I would not suffer that my little sons should fall into their hands;

therefore we did continue our march,

and we took our march into the wilderness.

Alma 58:15

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.
