27 They durst not pass by us with their whole army; neither durst they with a part, lest they should not be sufficiently strong, and they should fall.

28 Neither durst they march down against the city of Zarahemla; neither durst they cross the head of Sidon, over to the city of Nephihah.

29 And thus, with their forces, they were determined to maintain those cities which they had taken.

30 And now it came to pass, in the second month of this year, there was brought unto us many provisions, from the fathers of those my two thousand sons.

31 And also there was sent two thousand men unto us, from the land of Zarahemla.

32 And thus we were prepared with ten thousand men, and provisions for them, and also for their wives, and their children.

33 And the Lamanites, thus seeing our forces increase daily, and provisions arrive for our support, they began to be fearful, and began to sally forth, if it were possible, to put an end to our receiving provisions and strength.

34 Now when we saw that the Lamanites began to grow uneasy on this wise, we were desirous to bring a stratagem into effect upon them:

35 Therefore Antipus ordered that I should march forth with my little sons, to a neighboring city, as if we were carrying provisions to a neighboring city.

36 And we were to march near the city of Antiparah, as if we were going to the city beyond, in the borders by the sea-shore.

37 And it came to pass that we did march forth, as if with our provisions, to go to that city.
