Alma 58:36

And if it is not so, behold, we fear that there is some faction in the government, that they do not send more men to our assistance; for we know that they are more numerous than that which they have sent.

But if that is not true, we are afraid that some group in the government does not want to send more men to help us. We know they have more soldiers than they have sent.

But if that’s not it, we’re worried there might be some political faction in the government that’s blocking reinforcements. We know they have more troops available than what they’ve sent us.
