30 And he caused that all the people in that quarter of the land should gather themselves together to battle against the Lamanites to defend their lands and their country, their rights and their liberties; Therefore they were prepared against the time of the coming of the Lamanites.

31 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 Moroni placed spies round about that he might know when the camp of the Lamanites should come.

33 And now as Moroni knew the intention of the Lamanites - That it was their intention to destroy their brethren, or to subject them and bring them into bondage, That they might establish a kingdom unto themselves over all the land -

34 And he also knowing that it was the only desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands and their liberty and their church, Therefore, he thought it no sin that he should defend them by stratagem, Therefore, he found, by his spies, which course the Lamanites were to take.

35 Therefore, he divided his army and brought a part over into the valley and concealed them on the east and on the south of the Hill Riplah, 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;

36 And thus having placed his army according to his desire, he was prepared to meet them.

37 And it came to pass that the Lamanites came up on the north of the hill where a part of the army of Moroni was concealed.

38 And it came to pass that 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, who 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, when they saw the Nephites coming upon them in their rear, turned them about and began to contend with the army of Lehi; And the work of death commenced on both sides,

40 But it was more dreadful on the part of the Lamanites, For their nakedness was exposed to the heavy blows of the Nephites with their swords and their scimitars which brought death almost at every stroke, While on the other hand, there was now and then a man fell among the Nephites by their wounds and the loss of blood,
