3 Nephi 3:2

Lachoneus, most noble and chief governor of the land,

behold, I write this epistle unto you,

and do give unto you exceedingly great praise

because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people,

in maintaining that which ye suppose to be your right and liberty;

yea, ye do stand well, as if ye were supported by the hand of a god,

in the defence of your liberty, and your property, and your country,

or that which ye do call so.

3 Nephi 3:12

Now behold, this Lachoneus, the governor, was a just man,

and could not be frightened by the demands and the threatenings of a robber;

but he did cause that his people should cry unto the Lord

for strength against the time that the robbers should come down against them.

And it came to pass that in the latter end of the eighteenth year

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.

which had been deserted by the Nephites,

and there was no game for the robbers save it were in the wilderness.

And it came to pass that Gidgiddoni commanded

that his armies should pursue them as far as the borders of the wilderness,

and that they should not spare any that should fall into their hands by the way;

and thus they did pursue them and did slay them, to the borders of the wilderness,

even until they had fulfilled the commandment of Gidgiddoni.

And this did they do in the night-time,

and got on their march beyond the robbers,

so that on the morrow, when the robbers began their march,

they were met by the armies of the Nephites

both in their front and in their rear.
