Alma 16:12

Brant Gardner

This is a fascinating verse because it confirms that noting continual peace leads to an entry about conflict. What is fascinating is that while Mormon tells us that the Lamanites came to war in the fourteenth year of the reign of the judges, he tells us absolutely nothing more. We may assume that the Lamanites were defeated, else, surely, he would have provided some information concerning that. However, at this point in his text he returns to the story of Alma and Amulek, and ends this chapter with the ending of the fourteenth year. There is no more mention of this war with the Lamanites.
