contextual study / concordance



Alma 62:34

And it came to pass that Moroni and Lehi and Teancum did encamp

with their armies round about in the borders of the land of Moroni,

insomuch that the Lamanites were encircled about

in the borders by the wilderness on the south,

and in the borders by the wilderness on the east.


Alma 62:35

And thus they did encamp for the night.

For behold, the Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary

because of the greatness of the march;

therefore they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the night-time,

save it were Teancum;

for he was exceedingly angry with Ammoron,

insomuch that he considered that Ammoron, and Amalickiah his brother,

had been the cause of this great and lasting war between them and the Lamanites,

which had been the cause of so much war and bloodshed,

yea, and so much famine.


Alma 62:36

And it came to pass that

Teancum in his anger did go forth into the camp of the Lamanites,

and did let himself down over the walls of the city.

And he went forth with a cord, from place to place,

insomuch that he did find the king;

and he did cast a javelin at him, which did pierce him near the heart.

But behold, the king did awaken his servants before he died,

insomuch that they did pursue Teancum, and slew him.


Alma 62:37

Now it came to pass that

when Lehi and Moroni knew that Teancum was dead

they were exceedingly sorrowful;

for behold, he had been a man who had fought valiantly for his country,

yea, a true friend to liberty;

and he had suffered very many exceedingly sore afflictions.

But behold, he was dead, and had gone the way of all the earth.


Alma 62:38

Now it came to pass that

Moroni marched forth on the morrow, and came upon the Lamanites,

insomuch that they did slay them with a great slaughter;

and they did drive them out of the land;

and they did flee, even that they did not return at that time against the Nephites.
