Alma 60:16, 30

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.

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.
