3 Nephi 3:1

And now it came to pass that

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.

and to guard them from the robbers day and night.

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

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.
