It's a Trap!

The Content:

Alma 43

Verse 40-42

And they were pursued by Lehi and his men; and they were driven by Lehi into the waters of Sidon, and they crossed the waters of Sidon. And Lehi retained his armies upon the bank of the river Sidon that they should not cross.

And it came to pass that Moroni and his army met the Lamanites in the valley, on the other side of the river Sidon, and began to fall upon them and to slay them.

And the Lamanites did flee again before them, towards the land of Manti; and they were met again by the armies of Moroni.

The Comments:

Here we have a brilliantly laid trap for the Lamanites. It’s easy to see that Moroni’s plan wasn’t to wipe the Lamanites off the face of the planet, but to trap them and talk to them. (Well, we see the talking in a few verses.)

Moroni and his men executed this plan without any problems. Here Moroni has a lot of men in different places. I wonder if some of the men who cut the Lamanites off when they are trying to go toward the land of Manti are the guys from vs. 26.  Defending the road to their home, so to speak. That’s quite an opportunity.
