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.

And it came to pass that the word of the Lord came unto Alma, and Alma
informed the messengers of Moroni, that the armies of the Lamanites were
marching round about in the wilderness, that they might come over into
the land of Manti,
that they might commence an attack upon the weaker part of the people.
And those messengers went and delivered the message unto Moroni.
25
Now Moroni, leaving a part of his army in the land of Jershon, lest by any means a part of the Lamanites should come into that land and take possession of the city, took the remaining part of his army and marched over into the land of Manti.

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.

And the Lamanites did flee again before them, towards the land of Manti; and they were met again by the armies of Moroni.
