Alma 24:61 And now it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites, on the west sea, south, while in the absence of Moroni, on account of some
intrigue amongst the Nephites, which caused dissensions amongst them, had gained some ground over the Nephites, yea, insomuch that they had obtained possession of a number of their cities in that part of the land;
Alma 24:62 And thus because of iniquity amongst themselves, yea, because of dissension and
intrigue among themselves, they were placed in the most dangerous circumstances.
