Alma 28
The Lamanites are defeated in a tremendous battle—Tens of thousands are slain—The wicked are consigned to a state of endless woe; the righteous attain a never-ending happiness. About 77–76 B.C.
And
now
it
came
to
pass
that
after
the
people
of
Ammon
were
established
in
the
land
of
a
Jershon,
and
a
church
also
established
in
the
land
of
Jershon,
and
the
armies
of
the
Nephites
were
set
round
about
the
land
of
Jershon,
yea,
in
all
the
borders
round
about
the
land
of
Zarahemla;
behold
the
armies
of
the
Lamanites
had
followed
their
brethren
into
the
wilderness.
2 And
thus
there
was
a
tremendous
battle;
yea,
even
such
an
one
as
never
had
been
known
among
all
the
people
in
the
land
from
the
time
Lehi
left
Jerusalem;
yea,
and
tens
of
thousands
of
the
Lamanites
were
slain
and
scattered
abroad.
3 Yea,
and
also
there
was
a
tremendous
slaughter
among
the
people
of
Nephi;
nevertheless,
the
Lamanites
were
a
driven
and
scattered,
and
the
people
of
Nephi
returned
again
to
their
land.
4 And
now
this
was
a
time
that
there
was
a
great
a
mourning
and
lamentation
heard
throughout
all
the
land,
among
all
the
people
of
Nephi—
5 Yea,
the
cry
of
a
widows
mourning
for
their
husbands,
and
also
of
fathers
mourning
for
their
sons,
and
the
daughter
for
the
brother,
yea,
the
brother
for
the
father;
and
thus
the
cry
of
mourning
was
heard
among
all
of
them,
mourning
for
their
kindred
who
had
been
slain.
6 And
now
surely
this
was
a
sorrowful
day;
yea,
a
time
of
solemnity,
and
a
time
of
much
a
fasting
and
prayer.
7 And
thus
endeth
the
fifteenth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
over
the
people
of
Nephi;
8 And
a
this
is
the
account
of
Ammon
and
his
brethren,
their
journeyings
in
the
land
of
Nephi,
their
sufferings
in
the
land,
their
sorrows,
and
their
afflictions,
and
their
b
incomprehensible
joy,
and
the
reception
and
safety
of
the
brethren
in
the
land
of
Jershon.
And
now
may
the
Lord,
the
Redeemer
of
all
men,
bless
their
souls
forever.
9 And
this
is
the
account
of
the
wars
and
contentions
among
the
Nephites,
and
also
the
wars
between
the
Nephites
and
the
Lamanites;
and
the
fifteenth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
is
ended.
10 And
from
the
a
first
year
to
the
fifteenth
has
brought
to
pass
the
destruction
of
many
thousand
lives;
yea,
it
has
brought
to
pass
an
awful
scene
of
bloodshed.
11 And
the
bodies
of
many
thousands
are
laid
low
in
the
earth,
while
the
bodies
of
many
thousands
are
a
moldering
in
heaps
upon
the
face
of
the
earth;
yea,
and
many
thousands
are
b
mourning
for
the
loss
of
their
kindred,
because
they
have
reason
to
fear,
according
to
the
promises
of
the
Lord,
that
they
are
consigned
to
a
state
of
endless
wo.
12 While
many
thousands
of
others
truly
a
mourn
for
the
loss
of
their
kindred,
yet
they
rejoice
and
exult
in
the
hope,
and
even
know,
according
to
the
b
promises
of
the
Lord,
that
they
are
raised
to
dwell
at
the
right
hand
of
God,
in
a
state
of
never-ending
c
happiness.
13 And
thus
we
see
how
great
the
a
inequality
of
man
is
because
of
sin
and
b
transgression,
and
the
power
of
the
devil,
which
comes
by
the
cunning
c
plans
which
he
hath
devised
to
ensnare
the
hearts
of
men.
14 And
thus
we
see
the
great
call
of
a
diligence
of
men
to
labor
in
the
vineyards
of
the
Lord;
and
thus
we
see
the
great
reason
of
sorrow,
and
also
of
rejoicing—sorrow
because
of
death
and
destruction
among
men,
and
joy
because
of
the
b
light
of
Christ
unto
life.
