3 Nephi 3:6

Therefore I write unto you,

desiring that ye would yield up unto this my people,

your cities, your lands, and your possessions,

rather than that they should visit you with the sword

and that destruction should come upon you.

3 Nephi 3:7

Or in other words, yield yourselves up unto us, and unite with us

and become acquainted with our secret works, and become our brethren

that ye may be like unto us — not our slaves,

but our brethren and partners of all our substance.

3 Nephi 3:10

And I write this epistle unto you, Lachoneus,

and I hope that ye will deliver up your lands and your possessions,

without the shedding of blood,

that this my people may recover their rights and government,

who have dissented away from you because of your wickedness

in retaining from them their rights of government,

and except ye do this, I will avenge their wrongs.

I am Giddianhi.

3 Nephi 3:20

Now the people said unto Gidgiddoni:

Pray unto the Lord, and let us go up upon the mountains and into the wilderness,

that we may fall upon the robbers and destroy them in their own lands.

3 Nephi 3:21

But Gidgiddoni saith unto them:

The Lord forbid;

for if we should go up against them

the Lord would deliver us into their hands;

therefore we will prepare ourselves in the center of our lands,

and we will gather all our armies together,

and we will not go against them,

but we will wait till they shall come against us;

therefore as the Lord liveth,

if we do this he will deliver them into our hands.

3 Nephi 3:25

And they did fortify themselves against their enemies;

and they did dwell in one land, and in one body,

and they did fear the words which had been spoken by Lachoneus,

insomuch that they did repent of all their sins;

and they did put up their prayers unto the Lord their God,

that he would deliver them

in the time that their enemies should come down against them to battle.

3 Nephi 4:4

Therefore, there was no chance for the robbers to plunder and to obtain food,

save it were to come up in open battle against the Nephites;

and the Nephites being in one body,

and having so great a number,

and having reserved for themselves provisions,

and horses and cattle, and flocks of every kind,

that they might subsist for the space of seven years,

in the which time they did hope

to destroy the robbers from off the face of the land;

and thus the eighteenth year did pass away.

3 Nephi 4:5

And it came to pass that in the nineteenth year

Giddianhi found that it was expedient

that he should go up to battle against the Nephites,

for there was no way that they could subsist

save it were to plunder and rob and murder.

3 Nephi 4:6

And they durst not spread themselves upon the face of the land

insomuch that they could raise grain,

lest the Nephites should come upon them and slay them;

therefore Giddianhi gave commandment unto his armies

that in this year they should go up to battle against the Nephites.

3 Nephi 4:7

And it came to pass that they did come up to battle;

and it was in the sixth month;

and behold, great and terrible was the day that they did come up to battle;

and they were girded about after the manner of robbers;

and they had a lamb-skin about their loins,

and they were dyed in blood,

and their heads were shorn,

and they had head-plates upon them;

and great and terrible was the appearance of the armies of Giddianhi,

because of their armor, and because of their being dyed in blood.

3 Nephi 4:16

And in the twenty and first year they did not come up to battle,

but they came up on all sides to lay siege round about the people of Nephi;

for they did suppose that

if they should cut off the people of Nephi from their lands,

and should hem them in on every side,

and if they should cut them off from all their outward privileges,

that they could cause them to yield themselves up according to their wishes.

3 Nephi 4:18

But behold, this was an advantage to the Nephites;

for it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long

to have any effect upon the Nephites,

because of their much provision which they had laid up in store,

3 Nephi 4:27

And there were many thousands

who did yield themselves up prisoners unto the Nephites,

and the remainder of them were slain.
