47 Now behold, this was done in the nighttime so that when the Lamanites awoke in the morning, they beheld that they were surrounded by the Nephites without and that their prisoners were armed within.

48 And thus they saw that the Nephites had power over them; And in these circumstances, they found that it was not expedient that they should fight with the Nephites;

49 Therefore, their chief captains demanded their weapons of war, And they brought them forth and cast them at the feet of the Nephites, pleading for mercy. Now behold, this was the desire of Moroni;

50 He took them prisoners of war and took possession of the city, And caused that all the prisoners should be liberated, which were Nephites; And they did join the army of Moroni and were a great strength to his army.

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.

52 And it came to pass that when he had fortified the City Gid according to his desires, he caused that his prisoners should be taken to the City Bountiful;

53 And he also guarded that city with an exceeding strong force.

54 And it came to pass that they did - notwithstanding all the intrigues of the Lamanites - keep and protect all the prisoners which they had taken, And also maintain all the ground and the advantage which they had retaken.

55 And it came to pass that the Nephites began again to be victorious and to reclaim their rights and their privileges.

56 Many times did the Lamanites attempt to encircle them about by night, but in these attempts they did lose many prisoners.

57 And many times did they attempt to administer of their wine to the Nephites that they might destroy them with poison or with drunkenness.
