3 Nephi 4:16

And in the twenty and first year they did not come up to battle,

but they came up on all sides to lay siege round about the people of Nephi;

for they did suppose that

if they should cut off the people of Nephi from their lands,

and should hem them in on every side,

and if they should cut them off from all their outward privileges,

that they could cause them to yield themselves up according to their wishes.

3 Nephi 4:17

Now they had appointed unto themselves another leader,

whose name was Zemnarihah;

therefore it was Zemnarihah that did cause that this siege should take place.

But behold, this was an advantage to the Nephites;

for it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long

to have any effect upon the Nephites,

because of their much provision which they had laid up in store,

3 Nephi 4:23

And it came to pass that Zemnarihah did give command unto his people

that they should withdraw themselves from the siege,

and march into the furthermost parts of the land northward.
