And it came to pass that the Amlicites came upon the hill Amnihu, which was east of the river Sidon, which ran by the land of Zarahemla, and there they began to make war with the Nephites.
• • •
27
And behold, as they were crossing the river Sidon,
the Lamanites and the Amlicites, being as numerous almost, as it were,
as the sands of the sea, came upon them to destroy them.
• • •
34
And thus he cleared the ground, or rather the bank, which was on the west of the river Sidon, throwing the bodies of the Lamanites who had been slain into the waters of Sidon, that thereby his people might have room to cross and contend with the Lamanites and the Amlicites on the west side of the river Sidon.
35
And it came to pass that when they had all crossed the river Sidon
that the Lamanites and the Amlicites began to flee before them,
notwithstanding they were so numerous that they could not be numbered.
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.
• • •
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.
• • •
32
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 Manti.
• • •
35
And as the Lamanites had passed the hill Riplah, and came 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.
• • •
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.
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. And Lehi retained his armies upon the bank of the river Sidon that they should not cross.
41
And it came to pass that Moroni and his army met the Lamanites in the valley, on the other side of the river Sidon, and began to fall upon them and to slay them.
• • •
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.
• • •
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.
