Alma 60:13

but behold, now the Lamanites are coming upon us,

taking possession of our lands,

and they are murdering our people with the sword,

causing them that they should suffer all manner of afflictions,

and this because of the great wickedness of those

who are seeking for power and authority,

yea, even those king-men.
