3 Nephi 3:1

And now it came to pass that

in the sixteenth year from the coming of Christ,

Lachoneus, the governor of the land, received an epistle

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

and these were the words which were written, saying:

3 Nephi 4:1

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.

3 Nephi 4:7

And it came to pass that they did come up to battle;

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.
