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 56:46

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 57:6

And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and ninth year,

we received a supply of provisions,

and also an addition to our army,

from the land of Zarahemla, and from the land round about,

to the number of six thousand men,

besides sixty of the sons of the Ammonites

who had come to join their brethren, my little band of two thousand.

And now behold, we were strong,

yea, and we had also plenty of provisions brought unto us.

Alma 57:26

And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army,

yea, that they should be spared

while there was a thousand of our brethren who were slain.

And we do justly ascribe it to the miraculous power of God,

because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe —

that there was a just God,

and whosoever did not doubt,

that they should be preserved by his marvelous power.

Alma 57:34

And behold, when they had fled and we could not overtake them,

we took our march with speed towards the city Cumeni;

and behold, we did arrive in time

that we might assist our brethren in preserving the city.
