Alma 59:1

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi,

after Moroni had received and had read Helaman's epistle,

he was exceedingly rejoiced because of the welfare,

yea, the exceeding success which Helaman had had,

in obtaining those lands which were lost.

Alma 60:1

And it came to pass that he wrote again

to the governor of the land, who was Pahoran,

and these are the words which he wrote, saying:

Behold, I direct mine epistle to Pahoran, in the city of Zarahemla,

who is the chief judge and the governor over the land,

and also to all those who have been chosen by this people

to govern and manage the affairs of this war.

Alma 60:16

Yea, had it not been for the war which broke out among ourselves;

yea, were it not for these king-men,

who caused so much bloodshed among ourselves;

yea, at the time we were contending among ourselves,

if we had united our strength as we hitherto have done;

yea, had it not been for the desire of power and authority

which those king-men had over us;

had they been true to the cause of our freedom,

and united with us, and gone forth against our enemies,

instead of taking up their swords against us,

which was the cause of so much bloodshed among ourselves;

yea, if we had gone forth against them in the strength of the Lord,

we should have dispersed our enemies,

for it would have been done, according to the fulfilling of his word.

yea, and tens of thousands, who do also sit in idleness,

while there are thousands round about in the borders of the land

Alma 60:29

Behold it is time, yea, the time is now at hand,

that except ye do bestir yourselves

in the defence of your country and your little ones,

the sword of justice doth hang over you;

yea, and it shall fall upon you and visit you

even to your utter destruction.

Alma 60:30

Behold, I wait for assistance from you;

and, except ye do administer unto our relief,

behold, I come unto you, even in the land of Zarahemla,

and smite you with the sword,

insomuch that ye can have no more power

to impede the progress of this people in the cause of our freedom.
