The people of Ammon, who called themselves Anti-Nephi-Lehies, had made a covenant with God never to kill, even in war. ... But they had many sons who had not made the covenant that they would not go to war. .... These brave young men did not fear death. They cared more for the freedom of their people than for their own lives.See Alma 53:10-21; 56:44-56; 58:39 in the Book of Mormon
