from the leader and the governor of this band of robbers;

and these were the words which were written, saying:

3 Nephi 3:22

And it came to pass in the seventeenth year, in the latter end of the year,

the proclamation of Lachoneus had gone forth throughout all the face of the land,

and they had taken their horses, and their chariots,

and their cattle, and all their flocks, and their herds,

and their grain, and all their substance,

and did march forth by thousands and by tens of thousands,

until they had all gone forth to the place which had been appointed

that they should gather themselves together,

to defend themselves against their enemies.

those armies of robbers had prepared for battle,

and began to come down and to sally forth from the hills,

and out of the mountains, and the wilderness,

and their strongholds, and their secret places,

and began to take possession of the lands,

both which were in the land south and which were in the land north,

and began to take possession of all the lands

which had been deserted by the Nephites,

and the cities which had been left desolate.

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.

save it were to plunder and rob and murder.

the armies of the Nephites did return again to their place of security.

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;

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.
