Alma 20

Alma 20:1 [LDS 43:1]
[And now] [it came to pass,] [that the sons] [of Alma] [did go forth] among [the people] [to declare] [the word] unto them. [And Alma] also, himself, [could <not> rest,] [and he <also> went forth.]

Alma 20:2 [LDS 43:2]
[Now we shall say] no more concerning [their preaching,] except [that they preached] [the word,] [and the truth,] [according to the spirit] [of prophecy] [and revelation:] [and they preached] after [the <holy> order] [of God,] [by which] [they were called.]

Alma 20:3 [LDS 43:3]
[And now] [I return] [to an account] [of the wars] between [the Nephites] [and the Lamanites,] [in the eighteenth] year [of the reign] [of the Judges.]

Alma 20:4 [LDS 43:4]
For behold, [it came to pass] [that the Zoramites] became Lamanites; [therefore in the commencement] [of the eighteenth] year, [the people] [of the Nephites] saw [that the Lamanites] [were coming] [upon them;] therefore [they made preparations] [for war;] yea, [they gathered together] [their armies] [in the land] [of Jershon.]

Alma 20:5 [LDS 43:5]
[And it came to pass] [that the Lamanites] came [with their thousands;] [and they came] into [the land] [of Antionum,] which [was the land] [of the Zoramites;] [and a man] [by the name] [of Zerahemnah] was [their leader.]

Alma 20:6 [LDS 43:6]
[And now] [as the Amalekites] [were of a more wicked] [and <murderous> disposition] [than the Lamanites were,] in [and of themselves,] [therefore Zerahemnah] appointed [chief captains] over [the Lamanites,] [and they were] all [the Amalekites] [and the Zoramites.]

Alma 20:7 [LDS 43:7]
[Now this] [he did,] [that he might preserve] [their hatred] [towards the Nephites;] [that he might bring them] [into subjection,] [to the accomplishment] [of his designs;]

Alma 20:8 [LDS 43:8]
For behold, [his designs] [were to stir up] [the Lamanites] [to anger] against [the Nephites;] this [he did] [that he might usurp] great power [over them;] [and also] [that he might gain] power over [the Nephites] [by bringing them] [into bondage,] etc.

Alma 20:9 [LDS 43:9]
[And now] [the design] [of the Nephites] [was to support] [their lands,] [and their houses,] [and their wives] [and their children,] [that they might preserve them] [from the hands] [of their enemies,] [and also] [that they might preserve] [their rights] [and their privileges;]

Alma 20:10 [LDS 43:10]
Yea, [and also] [their liberty,] [that they might worship] God [according to their desires;] for [they knew] that if [they should fall] [into the hands] [of the Lamanites,] [that whosoever] [should worship] God, [in spirit] [and in truth,] [the true] [and the <living> God,] [the Lamanites] [would destroy;]

Alma 20:11 [LDS 43:11]
Yea, [and they also] knew [the <extreme> hatred] [of the Lamanites] [towards their brethren,] who [were the people] [of Anti-Nephi-Lehi;] who [were called] [the people] [of Ammon;]

Alma 20:12 [LDS 43:11]
[And they would <not> take up] arms; yea, [they had entered] [into a covenant,] [and they would <not> break it;] [therefore if] [they should fall] [into the hands] [of the Lamanites,] [they would be destroyed.]

Alma 20:13 [LDS 43:12]
[And the Nephites] [would <not> suffer] [that they should be destroyed;] therefore [they gave] them lands [for their inheritance.]

Alma 20:14 [LDS 43:13]
[And the people] [of Ammon] [did give] [unto the Nephites] [a large] portion [of their substance,] [to support] [their armies;]

Alma 20:15 [LDS 43:13]
[And thus] [the Nephites] [were compelled,] alone, [to withstand] [against the Lamanites,] [who were] [a compound] [of Laman] [and Lemuel,] [and the sons] [of Ishmael,] [and all] [those who] [had dissented] [from the Nephites,] [who were] Amalekites, [and Zoramites,] [and the descendants] [of the priests] [of Noah.]

Alma 20:16 [LDS 43:14]
[Now <those> descendants] were [as numerous,] nearly, [as were the Nephites;] [and thus] [the Nephites] [were obliged] [to contend] with [their brethren,] [even unto] bloodshed.

Alma 20:17 [LDS 43:15]
[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.]

Alma 20:18 [LDS 43:16]
[Now the leader] [of the Nephites,] [or the man] who [had been appointed] [to be] [the chief captain] over [the Nephites:] [now the chief captain] took [the command] [of all] [the armies] [of the Nephites:] [and his name] [was Moroni;]

Alma 20:19 [LDS 43:17]
[And Moroni] took [all the command,] [and the governments] [of their wars.] [And he was] only twenty [and five] years old [when he was appointed] [chief captain] over [the armies] [of the Nephites.]

Alma 20:20 [LDS 43:18]
[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.]

Alma 20:21 [LDS 43:19]
[And when the armies] [of the Lamanites] saw that [the people] [of Nephi,] [or that Moroni] [had prepared] [his people] [with breastplates,] [and with arm-shields;] yea, [and also] shields [to defend] [their heads;] [and also] [they were dressed] [with <thick> clothing.]

Alma 20:22 [LDS 43:20]
[Now the army] [of Zerahemnah] [was <not> prepared] with [any such thing.]

Alma 20:23 [LDS 43:20]
[They had only their swords,] [and their cimeters,] [their bows] [and their arrows,] [their stones] [and their slings;] [but they were] naked, save [it were a skin] which [was girded] [about their loins;] yea, [all were] naked, save [it were the Zoramites] [and the Amalekites.]

Alma 20:24 [LDS 43:21]
[But they were <not> armed] [with breastplates,] [nor shields;] therefore [they were <exceeding> afraid] [of the armies] [of the Nephites,] [because of their armor,] notwithstanding [their number] [being so <much> greater] [than the Nephites.]

Alma 20:25 [LDS 43:22]
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.]

Alma 20:26 [LDS 43:23]
[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.]

Alma 20:27 [LDS 43:24]
[And it came to pass] [that the word] [of the Lord] came unto Alma, [and Alma] informed [the messenger] [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 more weak part] [of the people.]

Alma 20:28 [LDS 43:24]
[And <those> messengers] went [and delivered] [the message] unto Moroni.

Alma 20:29 [LDS 43:25]
[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 remainder part] [of his army] [and marched over] into [the land] [of Manti.]

Alma 20:30 [LDS 43:26] [Note]
[And he caused that all] [the people] [in <that> quarter] [of the land,] [should gather themselves together] [to battle,] against [the Lamanites,] [to defend] [their lands] [and their country,] [their rights] [and their liberties;] therefore [they were prepared] [against the time] [of the coming] [of the Lamanites.]

Alma 20:31 [LDS 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.]

Alma 20:32 [LDS 43:28]
[And Moroni] placed spies [round about,] [that he might know] [when the camp] [of the Lamanites] [should come.]

Alma 20:33 [LDS 43:29]
[And now] [as Moroni] knew [the intention] [of the Lamanites,] [that it was] [their intention] [to destroy] [their brethren,] [or to subject them] [and bring them] [into bondage,] [that they might establish] [a kingdom] [unto themselves,] over all [the land;]

Alma 20:34 [LDS 43:30]
[And he <also> knowing] that [it was] [the <only> desire] [of the Nephites] [to preserve] [their lands,] [their liberty,] [and their church,] [therefore he thought] [it <no> sin] [that he should defend them] [by stratagem;] [therefore he found,] [by his spies,] which course [the Lamanites] [were to take.]

Alma 20:35 [LDS 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.]

Alma 20:36 [LDS 43:33]
[And thus] [having placed] [his army] [according to his desire,] [he was prepared] [to meet them.]

Alma 20:37 [LDS 43:34]
[And it came to pass] [that the Lamanites] [came up] [on the north] [of the north] where [a part] [of the army] [of Moroni] [was concealed.]

Alma 20:38 [LDS 43:35]
[And as the Lamanites] [had passed] [the hill] Riplah, [and come] [into the valley,] [and began] [to cross] [the river] Sidon, [the army] which [was concealed] [on the south] [of the hill,] [which was led] [by a man] [whose name] [was Lehi;] [[and he led [his army] forth]] [[and encircled [the Lamanites] about,]] [on the east] [in their rear.]

Alma 20:39 [LDS 43:36]
[And it came to pass] [that the Lamanites,] [when they saw] [the Nephites] coming [upon them] [in their rear,] [turned them about,] [and began] [to contend] with [the army] [of Lehi;] [and the work] [of death] commenced, [on both] sides;

Alma 20:40 [LDS 43:37]
[But it was] [more dreadful] [on the part of the Lamanites;] [for their nakedness] [was exposed] [to the <heavy> blows] [of the Nephites,] [with their swords] [and their cimeters,] which brought death almost [at every] stroke; [while on the <other> hand,] [there was now] [and then] [a man] fell among [the Nephites,] [by their swords] [and the loss] [of blood;]

Alma 20:41 [LDS 43:38] [Note]
[They being shielded] [from the more vital parts] [of the body,] [or the more vital parts] [of the body] [being shielded] [from the strokes] [of the Lamanites,] [by their breastplates,] [and their arm-shields,] [and their head-plates;] [and thus] [the Nephites] [did carry on] [the work] [of death] among [the Lamanites.]

Alma 20:42 [LDS 43:39]
[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.

Alma 20:43 [LDS 43:40]
[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.]

Alma 20:44 [LDS 43:40]
[And Lehi] retained [his armies] upon [the bank] [of the river] Sidon, [that they should <not> cross.]

Alma 20:45 [LDS 43:41]
[And it came to pass] [that Moroni] [and his army] met [the Lamanites] [in valley,] [on the other side] [of the river] Sidon, [and began] [to fall] [upon them,] [and to slay them.]

Alma 20:46 [LDS 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.]

Alma 20:47 [LDS 43:43]
[Now in <this> case,] [the Lamanites] [did fight] exceedingly; yea, never [had the Lamanites] [been known] [to fight] [with such <exceeding> <great> strength] [and courage;] no, not even [from the beginning:]

Alma 20:48 [LDS 43:44]
[And they were inspired] [by the Zoramites,] [and the Amalekites,] [who were] [their chief captains] [and leaders,] [and by Zerahemnah,] [who was] [their chief captain,] [or their chief leader] [and commander;]

Alma 20:49 [LDS 43:44]
Yea, [they did fight] [like dragons;] [and many] [of the Nephites] [were slain] [by their hands;] yea, for [they did smite] [in two] many [of their head-plates;] [and they did pierce] many [of their breastplates;] [and they did smite off] many [of their arms;] [and thus] [the Lamanites] [did smite] [in their <fierce> anger.]

Alma 20:50 [LDS 43:45] [Note]
Nevertheless, [the Nephites] [were inspired] [by a <better> cause;] for [they were <not> fighting] [for monarchy] [nor power;] [but they were fighting] [for their homes,] [and their liberties,] [their wives,] [and their children,] [and their all;] yea, [for their rites] [of worship,] [and their church;]

Alma 20:51 [LDS 43:46]
[And they were doing] [that which] [they felt] was [the duty] which [they owed] [to their God;] [for the Lord] [had said] [unto them,] [and also] unto [their fathers,] [That inasmuch] [as ye are <not> ] [of the <first> offense,] neither [the second,] [ye shall <not> suffer yourselves] [to be slain] [by the hands] [of your enemies.]

Alma 20:52 [LDS 43:47] [Note]
[And again,] [the Lord] [has said] [that ye shall defend] [your families,] [even unto] bloodshed; therefore [for <this> cause] [were the Nephites] contending [with the Lamanites,] [to defend themselves,] [and their families,] [and their lands,] [their country,] [and their rights,] [and their religion.]

Alma 20:53 [LDS 43:48]
[And it came to pass] [that when] [the men] [of Moroni] saw [the fierceness] [and the anger] [of the Lamanites,] [they were about to shrink] [and flee] [from them.]

Alma 20:54 [LDS 43:48]
[And Moroni,] perceiving [their intent,] [sent forth] [and inspired] [their hearts,] [with <these> thoughts;] yea, [the thoughts] [of their lands,] [their liberty,] yea, [their freedom] [from bondage.]

Alma 20:55 [LDS 43:49]
[And it came to pass] [that they turned] upon [the Lamanites,] [and they cried] [with <one> voice] unto [the Lord] [their God,] for [their liberty,] [and their freedom] [from bondage.]

Alma 20:56 [LDS 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.]

Alma 20:57 [LDS 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;

Alma 20:58 [LDS 43:52]
Therefore [the armies] [of Moroni] [encircled them about;] [yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [on both] sides [of the river;] for behold, [on the east,] [were the men] [of Lehi;]

Alma 20:59 [LDS 43:53]
[Therefore when Zerahemnah] saw [the men] [of Lehi] [on the east] [of the river] Sidon, [and the armies] [of Moroni] [on the west] [of the river] Sidon, that [they were encircled about] [by the Nephites,] [they were struck] [with terror.]

Alma 20:60 [LDS 43:54]
[Now Moroni,] [when he saw] [their terror,] commanded [his men] [that they should stop] shedding [their blood.]

Alma 20:61 [LDS 44:1]
[And it came to pass] [that they did stop,] [and withdrew] [a pace] [from them.]

Alma 20:62 [LDS 44:1]
[And Moroni] said unto Zerahemnah, Behold, Zerahemnah, that [we do <not> desire] [to be men] [of blood.]

Alma 20:63 [LDS 44:1]
[Ye know] that [ye are in our hands,] [yet we] [do <not> desire] [to slay you.]

Alma 20:64 [LDS 44:2]
Behold, [we have <not> come out] [to battle] [against you,] [that we might shed] [your blood,] [for power;] neither [do we desire] [to bring] [any one] [to the yoke] [of bondage.]

Alma 20:65 [LDS 44:2]
[But this] [is the very] cause for which [ye have come] [against us;] yea, [and ye are angry] [with us] [because of our religion.]

Alma 20:66 [LDS 44:3]
[But now] [ye behold] [that the Lord] [is with us;] [and ye behold] [that he has delivered you] [into our hands.]

Alma 20:67 [LDS 44:3]
[And now] [I would that] [ye should understand] that this [is done] [unto us] [because of our religion] [and our faith] [in Christ.] [And now] [ye see] [that ye can not] destroy this [our faith.]

Alma 20:68 [LDS 44:4]
[Now ye see] [that this] [is the <true> faith] [of God;] yea, [ye see] that God [will support,] [and keep,] [and preserve us,] [so long as] [we are faithful] [unto him,] [and unto our faith,] [and our religion;]

Alma 20:69 [LDS 44:4]
[And never] [will the Lord] suffer [that we shall be destroyed,] except [we should fall] [into transgression,] [and deny] [our faith.]

Alma 20:70 [LDS 44:5]
[And now] Zerahemnah, I command you, [in the name] [of that] all-powerful God, who [has strengthened] [our arms,] [that we have gained] power [over you] [by our faith,] [by our religion,] [and by our rites] [of worship,] [and by our church,] [and by the <sacred> support] which [we owe] to [our wives] [and our children,] [by that liberty] which [binds us] [to our lands] [and our country;] yea, [and also] [by the maintenance] [of the <sacred> word] [of God,] [to which] [we owe] all [our happiness;]

Alma 20:71 [LDS 44:6]
[And by all] that [is most dear] [unto us;] yea, [and this is] not all; I command you [by all] [the desires] which [ye have] [for life,] [that ye deliver up] [your weapons] [of war] [unto us,] [and we will seek] not [your blood,] [but we will spare] [your lives,] if [ye will go your way,] [and come] [not again] [to war] [against us.]

Alma 20:72 [LDS 44:7]
[And now] if [ye do] not this, behold, [ye are in our hands,] [and I will command] [my men] [that they shall fall] [upon you,] [and inflict] [the wounds] [of death] [in your bodies,] [that ye may become extinct;]

Alma 20:73 [LDS 44:7]
[And then] [we will see] who [shall have power] over this people; yea, [we shall see] who [will be brought] [into bondage.]

Alma 20:74 [LDS 44:8]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that when Zerahemnah] [had heard] these sayings, [he came forth] [and delivered up] [his sword] [and his cimeter,] [and his bow] [into the hands] [of Moroni,] [and said] [unto him,]

Alma 20:75 [LDS 44:8]
Behold, [here are] [our weapons] [of war;] [we will deliver them up] [unto you,] [and we will <not> suffer ourselves] [to take an oath] [unto you,] which [we know] that [we shall break,] [and also] [our children;] [but take] [our weapons] [of war,] [and suffer] [that we may depart] [into the wilderness;] otherwise [we will retain] [our swords,] [and we will perish] [or conquer.]

Alma 20:76 [LDS 44:9]
Behold, [we are not] [of your faith;] [we do <not> believe] that [it is God] [that has delivered us] [into your hands;] [but we believe] that [it is your cunning] [that has preserved you] [from our swords.]

Alma 20:77 [LDS 44:9]
Behold, it [is your breastplates] [and your shields] [that have preserved you.]

Alma 20:78 [LDS 44:10]
[And now] [when Zerahemnah] [had made an end] [of speaking] [these words,] Moroni returned [the sword,] [and the weapons] [of war] which [he had received,] [unto Zerahemnah,] saying, Behold, [we will end] [the conflict.]

Alma 20:79 [LDS 44:11]
[Now I can <not> retain] [the words] which [I have spoken;] therefore [as the Lord] liveth, [ye shall <not> depart,] except [ye depart] [with an oath,] [that ye will <not> return again] [against us] [to war.]

Alma 20:80 [LDS 44:11] [Note]
[Now as ye are in our hands,] [we will spill] [your blood] [upon the ground,] [or ye shall submit] [to the conditions] [to which] [I have proposed.]

Alma 20:81 [LDS 44:12]
[And now] [when Moroni] [had said] these words, Zerahemnah retained [his sword,] [and he was angry] with Moroni [and he rushed forward] [that he might slay] Moroni;

Alma 20:82 [LDS 44:12]
[But as he raised] [his sword,] behold, one [of Moroni's] soldiers [smote it] [even to] [the earth;] [and it broke] [by the hilt;] [and he <also> smote] Zerahemnah, [that he took off] [his scalp,] [and it fell] [to the earth.]

Alma 20:83 [LDS 44:12]
[And Zerahemnah] withdrew [from before them,] [into the midst] [of his soldiers.]

Alma 20:84 [LDS 44:13]
[And it came to pass] [that the soldier] [who stood by,] [who smote off] [the scalp] [of Zerahemnah,] [took up] [the scalp] [from off] [the ground,] [by the hair,] [and laid it] upon [the point] [of his sword,] [and he stretched it forth] [unto them,] saying [unto them] [with a <loud> voice,]

Alma 20:85 [LDS 44:14]
[Even as <this> scalp] [has fallen] [to the earth,] [which is] [the scalp] [of your chief,] [so shall ye fall] [to the earth,] except [ye will deliver up] [your weapons] [of war,] [and depart,] [with a covenant] [of peace.]

Alma 20:86 [LDS 44:15]
[Now there were many,] [when they heard] [these words,] [and saw] [the scalp] [which was upon] [the sword,] [that were struck] [with fear,] [and <many> came forth] [and threw down] [their weapons] [of war,] [at the feet] [of Moroni,] [and entered] [into a covenant] [of peace.]

Alma 20:87 [LDS 44:15]
[And as many as] entered [into a covenant,] [they suffered] [to depart] [into the wilderness.]

Alma 20:88 [LDS 44:16]
[Now it came to pass] [that Zerahemnah] [was <exceeding> wroth,] [and he did stir up] [the remainder] [of his soldiers] [to anger,] [to contend] more powerfully against [the Nephites.]

Alma 20:89 [LDS 44:17]
[And now] Moroni [was angry,] [because of the stubbornness] [of the Lamanites;] [therefore he commanded] [his people] [that they should fall] [upon them] [and slay them.]

Alma 20:90 [LDS 44:17]
[And it came to pass] [that they began] [to slay them;] yea, [and the Lamanites] [did contend] [with their swords] [and their mights.]

Alma 20:91 [LDS 44:18]
[But behold,] [their <naked> skins,] [and their <bare> heads,] [were exposed] [to the <sharp> swords] [of the Nephites;] yea, behold, [they were pierced] [and smitten;]

Alma 20:92 [LDS 44:18]
Yea, [and did fall] exceeding fast before [the swords] [of the Nephites;] [and they began] [to be swept down,] [even as the soldier] [of Moroni] [had prophesied.]

Alma 20:93 [LDS 44:19]
[Now Zerahemnah,] [when he saw] that [they were all] [about to be destroyed,] cried mightily unto Moroni, promising [that he would covenant,] [and also] [his people,] [with them,] if [they would spare] [the remainder] [of their lives,] [that they never] [would come] [to war] [against them.]

Alma 20:94 [LDS 44:20]
[And it came to pass] [that Moroni] [caused that the work] [of death] [should cease] again among [the people.]

Alma 20:95 [LDS 44:20]
[And he took] [the weapons] [of war] [from the Lamanites;] (direct obj) [and after] [they had entered] [into a covenant] [with him] [of peace,] [they were suffered] [to depart] [into the wilderness.]

Alma 20:96 [LDS 44:21]
