MORMON
4
1 And
now it came to pass that in the three hundred and sixty and third year the
Nephites did go up with their armies to battle against the Lamanites, out of the land Desolation.
2 And
it came to pass that the armies of the Nephites were driven back again to the land of Desolation. And while they were yet
weary, a fresh army of the Lamanites did come upon them; and they had a sore
battle, insomuch that the Lamanites did take possession of the city Desolation,
and did slay many of the Nephites, and did take many prisoners.
3 And
the remainder did flee and join the inhabitants of the city Teancum. Now the
city Teancum lay in the borders by the seashore; and it was also near the city
Desolation.
4 And
it was because the armies of the Nephites went up unto the Lamanites that they
began to be smitten; for were it not for that, the Lamanites could have had no
power over them.
5 But,
behold, the judgments of God will overtake the wicked; and it is by the wicked
that the wicked are punished; for it is the wicked that stir up the hearts of
the children of men unto bloodshed.
6 And
it came to pass that the Lamanites did make preparations to come against the city Teancum.
7 And
it came to pass in the three hundred and sixty and fourth year the Lamanites
did come against the city Teancum, that they
might take possession of the city Teancum also.
8 And
it came to pass that they were repulsed and driven back by the Nephites. And
when the Nephites saw that they had driven the Lamanites they did again boast
of their own strength; and they went forth in their own might, and took
possession again of the city Desolation.
