And
it
came
to
pass
in
that
same
year
there
began
to
be
a
war
again
between
the
Nephites
and
the
Lamanites.
And
notwithstanding
I
being
a
young,
was
large
in
stature;
therefore
the
people
of
Nephi
appointed
me
that
I
should
be
their
leader,
or
the
leader
of
their
armies.
2 Therefore
it
came
to
pass
that
in
my
sixteenth
year
I
did
go
forth
at
the
head
of
an
army
of
the
Nephites,
against
the
Lamanites;
therefore
three
hundred
and
twenty
and
six
years
had
passed
away.
3 And
it
came
to
pass
that
in
the
three
hundred
and
twenty
and
seventh
year
the
Lamanites
did
come
upon
us
with
a
exceedingly
great
power,
insomuch
that
they
did
frighten
my
armies;
therefore
they
would
not
fight,
and
they
began
to
retreat
towards
the
b
north
countries.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
that
we
did
come
to
the
city
of
Angola,
and
we
did
take
possession
of
the
city,
and
make
preparations
to
defend
ourselves
against
the
Lamanites.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
we
did
a
fortify
the
city
with
our
might;
but
notwithstanding
all
our
fortifications
the
Lamanites
did
come
upon
us
and
did
drive
us
out
of
the
city.
5 And
they
did
also
drive
us
forth
out
of
the
land
of
David.
6 And
we
marched
forth
and
came
to
the
land
of
Joshua,
which
was
in
the
borders
west
by
the
seashore.
