Luke 11:54 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be angry, and to urge vehemently,
endeavoring to provoke him to speak of many things;
Alma 24:15 And thus he was
endeavoring to harass the Nephites and to draw away a part of their forces to that part of the land, while he had commanded those whom he had left to possess the cities which he had taken, that they should also harass the Nephites on the borders by the east sea; and should take possession of their lands as much as it was in their power, according to the power of their armies.
3 Nephi 1:28 And thus the people began again to have peace in the land; and there were no contentions, save it were a few that began to preach,
endeavoring to prove by the scriptures, that it was no more expedient to observe the Law of Moses.
