Alma 56:5

therefore it supposeth me that I tell you that two thousand of these young men hath taken their weapons of war, and would that I should be their leader; and we have come forth to defend our country.

So I will tell you that 2,000 of these young men took up their weapons of war. They wanted me to be their leader. We have come to defend our country.

“What matters is this: two thousand of these young men picked up weapons and asked me to lead them. They’ve come to defend our country.”
