Commentaries (view it on a map)

ALMA 20:31 [43:27]: 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.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Manti, the river Sidon, a valley west of the river Sidon, the South Wilderness, a wilderness around Manti, and a wilderness between Antionum and Manti. Moroni and his army were in the land of Manti at this time. A valley meets the river Sidon on the west side of the river. The valley is in the wilderness in the land of Manti. This indicates the wilderness is near the land of Manti.

ALMA 20:35 [43:31]: 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; and the remainder he concealed in the west valley, on the west of the river Sidon, and so down into the borders of the land of Manti.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the hill Riplah, Manti, the river Sidon, the valley east of the river Sidon, and the valley west of the river Sidon. The hill Riplah is on the east of the river Sidon and near a valley on the east of the river Sidon. There were valleys on both the east and west of the river Sidon. The valleys were higher in altitude than the land of Manti. The river Sidon is flowing northward, so the valleys and the hill Riplah were southward of the land of Manti. The phrase 'over into' refers to going over a ridge. So, this phrase means they went over the ridges that made up the valley. ALMA 20:45 [43:41]: 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.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the river Sidon and a valley west of the river Sidon. The phrase 'other side of the river' refers to the west side of the river. So, Moroni's army met the Lamanites in the valley on the west of the river Sidon.

ALMA 20:46 [43:42]: And the Lamanites did flee again before them, towards the land of Manti; and they were met again by the armies of Moroni.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Manti, the river Sidon, the valley east of the river Sidon, and the valley west of the river Sidon. This action took place in or near the valleys on the east and west sides of the river Sidon. The phrase 'towards the land of Manti' indicates the land of Manti is down river (northward) of the valleys on the east and west of the river Sidon. The Lamanites didn't get very far towards the land of Manti since the verses following this one are still located in the valleys on the west and east of the river Sidon.

ALMA 20:56 [43:50]: And they began to stand against the Lamanites with power; and in the selfsame hour that they cried unto the Lord for their freedom, the Lamanites began to flee before them; and they fled even to the waters of Sidon.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the river Sidon and the valley west of the river Sidon. The phrase 'even to' means the Lamanites fled eastward, down the valley on the west of the river Sidon towards the river Sidon.

ALMA 20:57 [43:51]: Now the Lamanites were more numerous; yea, by more than double the number of the Nephites; nevertheless, they were driven insomuch that they were gathered together in one body, in the valley, upon the bank, by the river Sidon;

Commentary: This verse references the places of the river Sidon and the valley west of the river Sidon. The Lamanites were gathered in the valley west of the river Sidon. The phrase 'by the river Sidon' indicates the valley west of the river Sidon joins the river Sidon.
