60 And it came to pass that Giddianhi, who had stood and fought with boldness, was pursued as he fled; And being weary because of his much fighting, he was overtaken and slain; And thus was the end of Giddianhi the robber.

61 And it came to pass that the armies of the Nephites did return again to their place of security.

62 And it came to pass that this nineteenth year did pass away and the robbers did not come again to battle, Neither did they come in the twentieth year.

63 But in the twenty and first year they did not come up to battle, But they came up on all sides to lay siege round about the people of Nephi;

64 For they did suppose that if they should cut off the people of Nephi from their lands and should hem them in on every side, And if they should cut them off from all their outward privileges, That they could cause them to yield themselves according to their wishes.

65 Now they had appointed unto themselves another leader whose name was Zemnarihah, Therefore, it was Zemnarihah that did cause that this siege should take place.

66 But behold, this was an advantage unto the Nephites, For it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long to have any effect upon the Nephites because of their much provision which they had laid up in store and because of the scantiness of provisions among the robbers;

67 For behold, they had nothing save it were meat for their subsistence, which meat they did obtain in the wilderness.

68 And it came to pass that the wild game became scarce in the wilderness, insomuch that the robbers were about to perish with hunger.

69 And the Nephites were continually marching out by day and by night and falling upon their armies and cutting them off by thousands and by tens of thousands;

70 And thus it became the desire of the people of Zemnarihah to withdraw from their design because of the great destruction which came upon them by night and by day.
