3 Nephi 3:3

And it seemeth a pity unto me, most noble Lachoneus,

that ye should be so foolish and vain as to suppose

that ye can stand against so many brave men who are at my command,

who do now at this time stand in their arms,

and do await with great anxiety for the word —

Go down upon the Nephites and destroy them.

3 Nephi 3:4

And I, knowing of their unconquerable spirit,

having proved them in the field of battle,

and knowing of their everlasting hatred towards you

therefore if they should come down against you

they would visit you with utter destruction.

3 Nephi 3:8

And behold, I swear unto you,

if ye will do this, with an oath, ye shall not be destroyed;

but if ye will not do this, I swear unto you with an oath,

that on the morrow month I will command

that my armies shall come down against you,

and they shall not stay their hand and shall spare not,

but shall slay you, and shall let fall the sword upon you

even until ye shall become extinct.

and they are of ancient date

and they have been handed down unto us.

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

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

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

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.

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.

from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem, even down until the present time.
