Alma 62:15 15 And it came to pass that as they were
marching towards the
land, they took a large body of men of the Lamanites,
and slew
many of them, and took their provisions and their
weapons of war.
Alma 62:16 16 And it came to pass after they had
taken them, they caused
them to enter into a covenant that they would no more
take up
their weapons of war against the Nephites.
Alma 62:17 17 And when they had entered into this
covenant they sent them
to dwell with the people of Ammon, and they were in
number about
four thousand who had not been slain.
Alma 62:18 18 And it came to pass that when they had sent them away they pursued their march towards the land of Nephihah. And it came to pass that when they had come to the city of Nephihah, they did pitch their tents in the plains of Nephihah, which is near the city of Nephihah.
Alma 62:19 19 Now Moroni was desirous that the Lamanites should come out to battle against them, upon the plains; but the Lamanites, knowing of their exceedingly great courage, and beholding the greatness of their numbers, therefore they durst not come out against them; therefore they did not come to battle in that day.
Alma 62:20 20 And when the night came, Moroni went
forth in the darkness of
the night, and came upon the top of the wall to spy
out in what
part of the city the Lamanites did camp with their
army.
Alma 62:21 21 And it came to pass that they were on the east, by the entrance; and they were all asleep. And now Moroni returned to his army, and caused that they should prepare in haste strong cords and ladders, to be let down from the top of the wall into the inner part of the wall.
Alma 62:22 22 And it came to pass that Moroni caused
that his men should
march forth and come upon the top of the wall, and
let themselves
down into that part of the city, yea, even on the
west, where the
Lamanites did not camp with their armies.
Alma 62:23 23 And it came to pass that they were
all let down into the city
by night, by the means of their strong cords and their
ladders;
thus when the morning came they were all within the
walls of the
city.
Alma 62:24 24 And now, when the Lamanites awoke
and saw that the armies of
Moroni were within the walls, they were affrighted
exceedingly,
insomuch that they did flee out by the pass.
Alma 62:25 25 And now when Moroni saw that they were fleeing before him, he did cause that his men should march forth against them, and slew many, and surrounded many others, and took them prisoners; and the remainder of them fled into the land of Moroni, which was in the borders by the seashore.
Alma 62:26 26 Thus had Moroni and Pahoran obtained
the possession of the
city of Nephihah without the loss of one soul; and
there were
many of the Lamanites who were slain.
Alma 62:27 27 Now it came to pass that many of the
Lamanites that were
prisoners were desirous to join the people of Ammon
and become a
free people.
