march into the furthermost parts of the land northward.

      3 Nephi 4:24

       24 And now, Gidgiddoni being aware of their design, and knowing

       of their weakness because of the want of food, and the great

       slaughter which had been made among them, therefore he did send

       out his armies in the night-time, and did cut off the way of

       their retreat, and did place his armies in the way of their

       retreat.

      3 Nephi 4:25

       25 And this did they do in the night-time, and got on their

       march beyond the robbers, so that on the morrow, when the robbers

       began their march, they were met by the armies of the Nephites

       both in their front and in their rear.

      3 Nephi 4:26

       26 And the robbers who were on the south were also cut off in

       their places of retreat. And all these things were done by

       command of Gidgiddoni.

      3 Nephi 4:27

       27 And there were many thousands who did yield themselves up

       prisoners unto the Nephites, and the remainder of them were

       slain.

      3 Nephi 4:28

       28 And their leader, Zemnarihah, was taken and hanged upon a

       tree, yea, even upon the top thereof until he was dead. And when

       they had hanged him until he was dead they did fell the tree to

       the earth, and did cry with a loud voice, saying:

      3 Nephi 4:29

       29 May the Lord preserve his people in righteousness and in

       holiness of heart, that they may cause to be felled to the earth

       all who shall seek to slay them because of power and secret

       combinations, even as this man hath been felled to the earth.

      3 Nephi 4:30

       30 And they did rejoice and cry again with one voice, saying:

       May the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of

       Jacob, protect this people in righteousness, so long as they

       shall call on the name of their God for protection.

      3 Nephi 4:31

       31 And it came to pass that they did break forth, all as one, in

       singing, and praising their God for the great thing which he had

       done for them, in preserving them from falling into the hands of

       their enemies.

      3 Nephi 4:32

       32 Yea, they did cry: Hosanna to the Most High God. And they

       did cry: Blessed be the name of the Lord God Almighty, the Most

       High God.

      3 Nephi 4:33

       33 And their hearts were swollen with joy, unto the gushing out

       of many tears, because of the great goodness of God in delivering

       them out of the hands of their enemies; and they knew it was

       because of their repentance and their humility that they had been

       delivered from an everlasting destruction.

      3 Nephi 5 Chapter 5

      3 Nephi 5:1

       1 And now behold, there was not a living soul among all the

       people of the Nephites who did doubt in the least the words of

       all the holy prophets who had spoken; for they knew that it must

       needs be that they must be fulfilled.

      3 Nephi 5:2

       2 And they knew that it must be expedient that Christ had come,

       because of the many signs which had been given, according to the

       words of the prophets; and because of the things which had come

       to pass already they knew that it must needs be that all things

       should come to pass according to that which had been spoken.

      3 Nephi 5:3

       3 Therefore they did forsake all their sins, and their

       abominations, and their whoredoms, and did serve God with all

       diligence day and night.

      3 Nephi 5:4

       4 And now it came to pass that when they had taken all the

       robbers prisoners, insomuch that none did escape who were not

       slain, they did cast their prisoners into prison, and did cause

       the word of God to be preached unto them; and as many as would

       repent of their sins and enter into a covenant that they would

       murder no more were set at liberty.

      3 Nephi 5:5

       5 But as many as there were who did not enter into a covenant,

       and who did still continue to have those secret murders in their

       hearts, yea, as many as were found breathing out threatenings

       against their brethren were condemned and punished according to

       the law.

      3 Nephi 5:6

       6 And thus they did put an end to all those wicked, and secret,

       and abominable combinations, in the which there was so much

       wickedness, and so many murders committed.

      3 Nephi 5:7

       7 And thus had the twenty and second year passed away, and the

       twenty and third year also, and the twenty and fourth, and the

       twenty and fifth; and thus had twenty and five years passed away.

      3 Nephi 5:8

       8 And there had many things transpired which, in the eyes of

       some, would be great and marvelous; nevertheless, they cannot all

       be written in this book; yea, this book cannot contain even a

       hundredth part of what was done among so many people in the space

       of twenty and five years;

      3 Nephi 5:9

       9 But behold there are records which do contain all the

       proceedings of this people; and a shorter but true account was

       given by Nephi.

      3 Nephi 5:10

       10 Therefore I have made my record of these things according to

       the record of Nephi, which was engraven on the plates which were

       called the plates of Nephi.

      3 Nephi 5:11

       11 And behold, I do make the record on plates which I have made

       with mine own hands.

      3 Nephi 5:12

       12 And behold, I am called Mormon, being called after the land

       of Mormon, the land in which Alma did establish the church among

       the people, yea, the first church which was established among

       them after their transgression.

      3 Nephi 5:13
