3 Nephi 4:3

And the robbers could not exist

save it were in the wilderness,

for the want of food;

for the Nephites had left their lands desolate,

and had gathered their flocks and their herds and all their substance,

and they were in one body.

3 Nephi 4:24

And now, Gidgiddoni being aware of their design,

and knowing of their weakness because of the want of food,

and the great slaughter which had been made among them,

therefore he did send out his armies in the night-time,

and did cut off the way of their retreat,

and did place his armies in the way of their retreat.
