Mosiah 9:2

therefore, I contended with my brethren in the wilderness: for I would that our ruler should make a treaty with them. But he being an austere and a blood-thirsty man, commanded that I should be slain; but I was rescued, by the shedding of much blood: for father fought against father, and brother against brother, until the greatest number of our army was destroyed in the wilderness; and we returned, those of us that were spared, to the land of Zarahemla, to relate that tale to their wives, and their children.

So I argued with my brothers in the wilderness. I wanted our ruler to make peace with them. But he was mean and loved to fight. He told his men to kill me. But I was saved, though many people died in the fighting. Father fought against father and brother fought against brother. Most of our army died in the wilderness. Those of us who lived went back to Zarahemla. We had to tell our wives and children what happened.

I fought with my fellow soldiers about it right there in the wilderness. I wanted our leader to make peace with the Lamanites. But he was a ruthless, bloodthirsty man, and he ordered my execution. I barely escaped alive, but only after a terrible bloodbath—father turned on father, brother on brother, until most of our army lay dead in the wilderness. Those of us who survived limped back to Zarahemla to tell our wives and children what had happened.
