Alma 62:38 38 Now it came to pass that Moroni marched forth on the morrow, and came upon the Lamanites, insomuch that they did slay them with a great slaughter; and they did drive them out of the land; and they did flee, even that they did not return at that time against the Nephites.
Alma 62:39 39 And thus ended the thirty and first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi; and thus they had had wars, and bloodsheds, and famine, and affliction, for the space of many years.
Alma 62:40 40 And there had been murders, and contentions, and dissensions, and all manner of iniquity among the people of Nephi; nevertheless for the righteous’ sake, yea, because of the prayers of the righteous, they were spared.
Alma 62:41 41 But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility.
Alma 62:42 42 And it came to pass that after Moroni had fortified those parts of the land which were most exposed to the Lamanites, until they were sufficiently strong, he returned to the city of Zarahemla; and also Helaman returned to the place of his inheritance; and there was once more peace established among the people of Nephi.
Alma 62:43 43 And Moroni yielded up the command
of his armies into the
hands of his son, whose name was Moronihah; and he
retired to his
own house that he might spend the remainder of his
days in peace.
Alma 62:44 44 And Pahoran did return to his judgment-seat;
and Helaman did
take upon him again to preach unto the people the
word of God;
for because of so many wars and contentions it had
become
expedient that a regulation should be made again in
the church.
Alma 62:45 45 Therefore, Helaman and his brethren
went forth, and did
declare the word of God with much power unto the convincing
of
many people of their wickedness, which did cause them
to repent
of their sins and to be baptized unto the Lord their
God.
Alma 62:46 46 And it came to pass that they did
establish again the church
of God, throughout all the land.
Alma 62:47 47 Yea, and regulations were made concerning
the law. And their
judges, and their chief judges were chosen.
Alma 62:48 48 And the people of Nephi began to prosper
again in the land,
and began to multiply and to wax exceedingly strong
again in the
land. And they began to grow exceedingly rich.
Alma 62:49 49 But notwithstanding their riches,
or their strength, or their
prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of
their eyes;
neither were they slow to remember the Lord their
God; but they
did humble themselves exceedingly before him.
Alma 62:50 50 Yea, they did remember how great things
the Lord had done for
them, that he had delivered them from death, and from
bonds, and
from prisons, and from all manner of afflictions and
he had
delivered them out of the hands of their enemies.
