According to Alma 62:13, 6000 reinforcements marched to support Lehi and Teancum (who apparently were defending the Bountiful quarter of the land). Moroni and Pahoran took another large body of men and marched towards the land of Nehihah (Alma 62:14). The trail to the land of Bountiful and the trail to the land of Nephihah apparently did not go along the same route, otherwise the 6000 men would have traveled with chief captain Moroni and Pahoran. The 6000 men going to the land of Nephihah may have retraced the route that chief captain Moroni originally traveled as he recruited people to the cause marching to the aid of Pahoran in the land of Gideon.
