"Now behold, this Lachoneus, the governor, was a just man, and could not be frightened by the demands and the threatenings of a robber;
therefore he did not hearken to the epistle of Giddianhi, the governor of the robbers, but he did cause that his people should
cry unto the Lord for strength against the time that the robbers should come down against them."

"And it came to pass in the seventeenth year, in the latter end of the year, the proclamation of Lachoneus had gone forth throughout
all the face of the land, and they had taken their horses, and their chariots, and their cattle, and all their flocks,
and their herds, and their grain, and all their substance, and did march forth by thousands and by tens of thousands, until they had
all gone forth to the place which had been appointed that they should gather themselves together, to defend themselves against
their enemies."

they did come up to battle; and they were girded about after the manner of robbers; and they had a lamb-skin about their loins,
and they were dyed in blood, and their heads were shorn, and they had head-plates upon them; and great and terrible was the appearance
of the armies of Giddianhi, because of their armor, and because of their being dyed in blood."

"And their leader, Zemnarihah, was taken and hanged upon a tree, yea, even upon the top thereof until he was dead.
And when they had hanged him until he was dead they did fell the tree to the earth, and did cry with a loud voice, saying:
29 May the Lord preserve his people in righteousness and in holiness of heart, that they may cause to be felled to the earth all
who shall seek to slay them because of power and secret combinations, even as this man hath been felled to the earth."

they did destroy upon the judgment-seat, yea, did murder the chief judge of the land.
2 And the people were divided one against another; and they did separate one from another into tribes, every man according to his family
and his kindred and friends; and thus they did destroy the government of the land.
3 And every tribe did appoint a chief or a leader over them; and thus they became tribes and leaders of tribes.
4 Now behold, there was no man among them save he had much family and many kindreds and friends; therefore their tribes became exceedingly great."
