3 Nephi 3:11

And now it came to pass when Lachoneus received this epistle

he was exceedingly astonished, because of the boldness of Giddianhi

demanding the possession of the land of the Nephites,

and avenging the wrongs of those that had received no wrong,

save it were they had wronged themselves

by dissenting away unto those wicked and abominable robbers.

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 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.

for the Nephites did not fear them;

they were prepared to meet them;

yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them.

who had stood and fought with boldness,

was pursued as he fled;

and being weary because of his much fighting

he was overtaken and slain.
