53 And it came to pass that we did contend with an army of thirty thousand, against an army of fifty thousand.
54 And it came to pass that we did stand before them with such firmness, that they did flee from before us.
55 And it came to pass that when they had fled, we did pursue them with our armies, and did meet them again, and did beat them;
56 Nevertheless the strength of the Lord was not with us; yea, we were left to ourselves, that the Spirit of the Lord did not abide in us; therefore we had become weak, like unto our brethren.
57 And my heart did sorrow because of this the great calamity of my people; because of their wickedness and their abominations.
58 But behold we did go forth against the Lamanites, and the robbers of Gadianton, until we had again taken possession of the lands of our inheritance.
59 And the three hundred and forty and ninth year had passed away.
60 And in the three hundred and fiftieth year, we made a treaty with the Lamanites and the robbers of Gadianton, in which we did get the lands of our inheritance divided.
61 And the Lamanites did give unto us the land northward; yea, even to the narrow passage which led into the land southward.
62 And we did give unto the Lamanites all the land southward.
63 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did not come to battle again until ten years more had passed away.
