Alma 62:3 3 And it came to pass that Moroni took
a small number of men,
according to the desire of Pahoran, and gave Lehi
and Teancum
command over the remainder of his army, and took his
march
towards the land of Gideon.
Alma 62:4 4 And he did raise the standard of liberty
in whatsoever place
he did enter, and gained whatsoever force he could
in all his
march towards the land of Gideon.
Alma 62:5 5 And it came to pass that thousands did
flock unto his
standard, and did take up their swords in the defence
of their
freedom, that they might not come into bondage.
Alma 62:6 6 And thus, when Moroni had gathered together whatsoever men he could in all his march, he came to the land of Gideon; and uniting his forces with those of Pahoran they became exceedingly strong, even stronger than the men of Pachus, who was the king of those dissenters who had driven the freemen out of the land of Zarahemla and had taken possession of the land.
Alma 62:7 7 And it came to pass that Moroni and
Pahoran went down with
their armies into the land of Zarahemla, and went
forth against
the city, and did meet the men of Pachus, insomuch
that they did
come to battle.
Alma 62:8 8 And behold, Pachus was slain and his
men were taken prisoners,
and Pahoran was restored to his judgment-seat.
Alma 62:9 9 And the men of Pachus received their trial, according to the law, and also those king-men who had been taken and cast into prison; and they were executed according to the law; yea, those men of Pachus and those king-men, whosoever would not take up arms in the defence of their country, but would fight against it, were put to death.
Alma 62:10 10 And thus it became expedient that
this law should be strictly
observed for the safety of their country; yea, and
whosoever was
found denying their freedom was speedily executed
according to
the law.
Alma 62:11 11 And thus ended the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi; Moroni and Pahoran having restored peace to the land of Zarahemla, among their own people, having inflicted death upon all those who were not true to the cause of freedom.
Alma 62:12 12 And it came to pass in the commencement
of the thirty and
first year of the reign of the judges over the people
of Nephi,
Moroni immediately caused that provisions should be
sent, and
also an army of six thousand men should be sent unto
Helaman, to
assist him in preserving that part of the land.
Alma 62:13 13 And he also caused that an army of
six thousand men, with a
sufficient quantity of food, should be sent to the
armies of Lehi
and Teancum. And it came to pass that this was
done to fortify
the land against the Lamanites.
Alma 62:14 14 And it came to pass that Moroni and
Pahoran, leaving a large
body of men in the land of Zarahemla, took their march
with a
large body of men towards the land of Nephihah, being
determined
to overthrow the Lamanites in that city.
