The Book of Mormon

Mosiah 10:1

1830 Edition

And it came to pass that we again began to establish the kingdom; and we again began to possess the land in peace. And I caused that there should be weapons of war made, of every kind, that thereby I might have weapons for my people, against the time the Lamanites should come up again to war against my people.

Paraphrase

We got back to rebuilding our kingdom and living in peace. I made sure we produced every kind of weapon we could, so we’d be ready when the Lamanites came to attack us again.
