Mosiah 20:19

And now behold, and tell the king of these things, that he may tell his people, that they may be pacified towards us: for behold, they are already preparing to come against us; and behold also, there are but few of us.

“Tell the king about this. Then he can tell his people. That will make them peaceful toward us. They are already getting ready to attack us again. There are only a few of us.”

“Tell the king what really happened so he can calm his people down. They’re already preparing to attack us again, and we’re badly outnumbered.”
