Moroni 9:2

For behold, I have had a sore battle with the Lamanites, in the which we did not conquer; and Archeantus has fallen by the sword, and also Luram and Emron; yea, and we have lost a great number of our choice men.

We had a terrible battle with the Lamanites. We did not win. Archeantus was killed by the sword. Luram and Emron were also killed. We lost many of our best men.

We just fought a brutal battle with the Lamanites, and we lost. Archeantus is dead—killed by the sword—and so are Luram and Emron. We’ve lost so many of our best men.
