Alma 20:33 And now as Moroni knew the
intention of the Lamanites - That it was their
intention to destroy their brethren, or to subject them and bring them into bondage, That they might establish a kingdom unto themselves over all the land -
Alma 21:87 Now it was not Amalickiah's
intention to give them battle, according to the commandments of the king, But behold, it was his
intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites, that he might place himself at their head and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.
