Therefore it became expedient for us,

that we should put an end to their lives,

notwithstanding that which we had taken from the Lamanites.

Alma 58:1

And behold, now it came to pass that

our next object was to obtain the city of Manti;

but behold, there was no way

that we could lead them out of the city by our small bands.

For behold, they remembered that which we had hitherto done;

therefore we could not decoy them away from their strongholds.

Alma 58:3

Yea, and it became expedient

that we should employ our men to the maintaining those parts of the land

which we had regained of our possessions;

therefore it became expedient that we should wait,

that we might receive more strength from the land of Zarahemla

and also a new supply of provisions.

Alma 58:12

And we did take courage with our small force which we had received,

and were fixed with a determination to conquer our enemies,

and to maintain our lands, and our possessions,

and our wives, and our children, and the cause of our liberty.
