Alma 21:129 Yea, he had been
strengthening the armies of the Nephites and erecting small forts, or places of resort, Throwing up banks of earth round about to encircle his armies, and also building walls of stone to encircle them about, Round about their cities and the borders of their lands, yea, all round about the land,
Alma 25:2 And it came to pass that Moroni felt to rejoice exceedingly at this request; For he desired the provisions which were imparted for the support of the Lamanite prisoners for the support of his own people, And he also desired his own people for the
strengthening of his army.
Alma 25:51 And it came to pass that he did cause the Lamanites which he had taken prisoners, that they should commence a labor in
strengthening the fortifications round about the City Gid.
