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.
38 And it came to pass that Antipus did march forth, with a part of his army, leaving the remainder to maintain the city.
39 But he did not march forth, until I had gone forth with my little army, and came near the city Antiparah.
40 And now in the city Antiparah, were stationed the strongest army of the Lamanites; yea, the most numerous.
41 And it came to pass that when they had been informed by their spies, they came forth with their army, and marched against us.
42 And it came to pass that we did flee before them, northward.
43 And thus we did lead away the most powerful army of the Lamanites; yea, even to a considerable distance, insomuch that when they saw the army of Antipus pursuing them, with their mights, they did not turn to the right nor to the left, but pursued their march in a straight course after us:
44 And, as we suppose, it was their intent to slay us before Antipus should overtake them, and this that they might not be surrounded by our people.
