Alma 56:24, 40, 46

Alma 56:24

They durst not pass by us with their whole army,

neither durst they with a part,

lest they should not be sufficiently strong and they should fall.

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.
