1. Gen. 21: 22, 32
     22 ¶ And it came to pass at that time, that ^aAbimelech and ^bPhichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, ^cGod is with thee in all that thou doest:
         •  •  •
     32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: ^athen Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
2. Gen. 26: 26
     26 ¶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and ^aPhichol the chief captain of his army.
3. 2 Sam. 5: 8
     8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the ^aJebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain.Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
4. 1 Chr. 11: 6
     6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
5. Acts 21: 31-33, 37
     31 And as they went about to ^akill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an ^buproar.
     32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief ^acaptain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
     33 Then the chief ^acaptain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
         •  •  •
     37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
6. Acts 22: 24, 26-29
     24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the ^acastle, and bade that he should be examined by ^bscourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
         •  •  •
     26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
     27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
     28 And the ^achief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
     29 ^aThen straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
7. Acts 23: 10, 15, 17-19, 22
     10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
         •  •  •
     15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, ^aor ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
         •  •  •
     17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
     18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
     19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
         •  •  •
     22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
8. Acts 24: 7, 22
     7 But the chief ^acaptain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
         •  •  •
     22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When ^aLysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
9. Acts 25: 23
     23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
10. Rev. 6: 15
      15 And the ^akings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the ^bdensand in the rocks of the mountains;
11. Alma 2: 13, 16
      13 And thus they were prepared to meet the Amlicites at the time of their coming. And there were appointed ^acaptains, and higher captains, and chief captains, according to their numbers.
          •  •  •
      16 Now Alma, being the ^achief judge and the ^bgovernor of the people of Nephi, therefore he went up with his people, yea, with his captains, and chief captains, yea, at the head of his armies, against the Amlicites to battle.
12. Alma 16: 5
      5 Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name was Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)—now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma was high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.
13. Alma 43: 6, 16-17, 44
      6 And now, as the ^aAmalekites were of a more wicked and murderous disposition than the Lamanites were, in and of themselves, therefore, Zerahemnah appointed chief ^bcaptainsover the Lamanites, and they were all Amalekites and ^cZoramites.
          •  •  •
      16 Now, the leader of the Nephites, or the man who had been ^aappointed to be the ^bchief captain over the Nephites—now the chief captain took the command of all the armies of the Nephites—and his name was Moroni;
      17 And Moroni took all the command, and the government of their wars. And he was only twenty and five years old when he was appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites.
          •  •  •
      44 And they were inspired by the ^aZoramites and the Amalekites, who were their chief captains and leaders, and by Zerahemnah, who was their chief captain, or their chief leader and commander; 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.
14. Alma 48: 5
      5 And thus he did appoint ^achief captains of the ^bZoramites, they being the most acquainted with the strength of the Nephites, and their places of resort, and the weakest parts of their cities; therefore he appointed them to be chief captains over his armies.
15. Alma 49: 5, 11, 13, 16-17, 23, 25
      5 Now at this time the chief ^acaptains of the Lamanites were astonished exceedingly, because of the wisdom of the Nephites in preparing their places of security.
          •  •  •
      11 But behold, Amalickiah did not come down himself to battle. And behold, his chief captains durst not attack the Nephites at the city of Ammonihah, for Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites, insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat and they could not come upon them.
          •  •  •
      13 For they knew not that Moroni had fortified, or had built ^aforts of security, for every city in all the land round about; therefore, they marched forward to the land of Noah with a firm determination; yea, their chief captains came forward and took an ^boath that they would destroy the people of that city.
          •  •  •
      16 And behold, Moroni had appointed Lehi to be chief captain over the men of that city; and it was that ^asame Lehi who fought with the Lamanites in the valley on the east of the river Sidon.
      17 And now behold it came to pass, that when the Lamanites had found that Lehi commanded the city they were again disappointed, for they feared Lehi exceedingly; nevertheless their chief captains had ^asworn with an oath to attack the city; therefore, they brought up their armies.
          •  •  •
      23 Thus the Nephites had all power over their enemies; and thus the Lamanites did attempt to destroy the Nephites until their ^achief captains were all slain; yea, and more than a thousand of the Lamanites were slain; while, on the other hand, there was not a single soul of the Nephites which was slain.
          •  •  •
      25 And it came to pass, that when the Lamanites saw that their chief captains were all slain they fled into the wilderness. And it came to pass that they returned to the land of Nephi, to inform their king, Amalickiah, who was a ^aNephite by birth, concerning their great ^bloss.
16. Alma 52: 19, 28, 38
      19 And in the *commencement of the twenty and eighth year, Moroni and Teancum and many of the chief ^acaptains held a council of war—what they should do to cause the Lamanites to come out against them to battle; or that they might by some means flatter them out of their strongholds, that they might gain advantage over them and take again the city of Mulek.
          •  •  •
      28 And now behold, when the chief captains of the Lamanites had beheld Lehi with his army coming against them, they fled in much confusion, lest perhaps they should not obtain the city Mulek before Lehi should overtake them; for they were wearied because of their march, and the men of Lehi were fresh.
          •  •  •
      38 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had heard these words, their chief captains, all those who were not slain, came forth and threw down their weapons of war ^aat the feet of Moroni, and also commanded their men that they should do the same.
17. Alma 55: 23
      23 And thus they saw that the Nephites had power over them; and in these circumstances they found that it was not expedient that they should fight with the Nephites; therefore theirchief ^acaptains demanded their weapons of war, and they brought them forth and ^bcast them at the feet of the Nephites, pleading for mercy.
18. Alma 56: 12
      12 And the Lamanites had also retained many prisoners, all of whom are chief ^acaptains, for none other have they spared alive. And we suppose that they are now at this time in the land of Nephi; it is so if they are not slain.
19. Alma 57: 29
      29 Now Gid was the chief captain over the band who was appointed to guard them down to the land.
20. Alma 58: 25
      25 And behold, it was night and they did pitch their tents, for the chief ^acaptains of the Lamanites had supposed that the Nephites were weary because of their march; and supposing that they had driven their whole army therefore they took no thought concerning the city of Manti.
21. Alma 59: 12
      12 Now this was the case with all his chief captains. They doubted and marveled also because of the wickedness of the people, and this because of the success of the Lamanites over them.
22. Alma 60: 36
      36 Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain. I ^aseek not for power, but to pull it down. I ^bseek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country. And thus I close mine epistle.
23. Alma 61: 2
      2 I, Pahoran, who am the chief governor of this land, do send these words unto Moroni, the chief captain over the army. Behold, I say unto you, Moroni, that I do not joy in your great ^aafflictions, yea, it grieves my soul.
24. 3 Ne. 3: 17-19
      17 And it came to pass that Lachoneus did appoint chief captains over all the armies of the Nephites, to command them at the time that the robbers should come down out of the wilderness against them.
      18 Now the chiefest among all the chief captains and the great commander of all the armies of the Nephites was appointed, and his name was ^aGidgiddoni.
      19 Now it was the custom among all the Nephites to appoint for their chief captains, (save it were in their times of wickedness) some one that had the ^aspirit of revelation and also prophecy; therefore, this Gidgiddoni was a great prophet among them, as also was the chief judge.
