Alma 50:35
1830 Edition
And it came to pass that the army which was sent by Moroni, which was led by a man whose name was Teancum, did meet the people of Morianton; and so stubborn were the people of Morianton, (being inspired by his wickedness and his flattering words,) that a battle commenced between them, in the which Teancum did slay Morianton, and defeat his army, and took them prisoners, and returned to the camp of Moroni. And thus ended the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi.

Simple English
The army that Moroni sent was led by a man named Teancum. Teancum met the people of Morianton. The people of Morianton were stubborn. Morianton’s evil ways and lying words made them that way. So a battle started. Teancum killed Morianton and beat his army. He took them as prisoners and brought them back to Moroni’s camp. This is how the twenty-fourth year of the judges ended.

Teancum killed Morianton, defeated his army, took prisoners, and returned to Moroni’s camp. That’s how the twenty-fourth year of the judges ended.
