Alma 43
5 And it came to pass that the
Lamanites came with their thousands; and they came into the land of Antionum
15 And it came to pass as the armies
of the Lamanites had gathered together in the land
of Antionum, behold, the armies of the Nephites were prepared to meet
them in the land of Jershon., which is the land
of the Zoramites; and a man by the name of Zerahemnah was their leader.
18 And it came to pass that he met
the Lamanites in the borders of Jershon, and
his people were armed with swords, and with cimeters, and all manner of weapons
of war.
22 Behold, now it came to pass that
they durst not come against the Nephites in the borders
of Jershon; therefore they departed out of
the land of Antionum into the wilderness,
and took their journey round about in the wilderness, away by the head of the river Sidon, that they might come
into the land of Manti and take possession of
the land; for they did not suppose that the armies of Moroni would know whither
they had gone.
23 But it came to pass, as soon as
they had departed into the wilderness Moroni sent spies into the wilderness to
watch their camp; and Moroni, also, knowing of the prophecies of Alma, sent
certain men unto him, desiring him that he should inquire of the Lord whither
the armies of the Nephites should go to defend themselves against the Lamanites.
24 And it came to pass that the word
of the Lord came unto Alma, and Alma informed the messengers of Moroni, that
the armies of the Lamanites were marching round about in the wilderness, that
they might come over into the land of Manti,
that they might commence an attack upon the weaker part of the people. And
those messengers went and delivered the message unto Moroni.
25 Now Moroni, leaving a part of his
army in the land of Jershon, lest by any means a part of the Lamanites should
come into that land and take possession of the city, took the remaining part of
his army and marched over into the land of Manti.
27 And it came to pass that Moroni
caused that his army should be secreted in the valley which was near the bank of the river Sidon, which was on the west of the river Sidon in
the wilderness.
31 Therefore, he divided his army and
brought a part over into the valley, and concealed them
on the east, and on the south of the hill
Riplah
39 And it came to pass that the
Lamanites became frightened, because of the great destruction among them, even
until they began to flee towards the river Sidon.
40 And they were pursued by Lehi and
his men; and they were driven by Lehi into the waters of Sidon, and they
crossed the waters of Sidon. And Lehi retained
his armies upon the bank of the river Sidon that
they should not cross.
41 And it came to pass that Moroni
and his army met the Lamanites in the valley, on the
other side of the river Sidon, and
began to fall upon them and to slay them.
42 And the Lamanites
did flee again before them, towards the land
of Manti; and they were met again by the armies of Moroni.
