ANOTHER WAR —MORONI, THE LEADER OF THE NEPHITES —THE TACTICS OF THE LAMANITES—ZERAHEMNAH—THEBATTLE AT RIPLAH —DEFEAT OF THE LAMANITES. npHE CAUSE which led the Nephite armies to occupyJershon was that the Zoramites, finding that theirhaughty and unjust demands would not be compliedwith, had excited the Lamanites to invade the territoryof the Nephites. The Lamanite forces, which werecommanded almost entirely by Nephite apostates, onaccount of their fierce hatred to their former associates,marched first into the land of Antionum, where theywere joined by the Zoramites. Then the whole of theinvading hosts, under the command of a dissenternamed Zerahemnah, advanced northward towards theland of Jershon. This was a day of peril for the Nephites. Theirenemies were much more numerous than the}^, and werefilled with a savage thirst for blood, which was espe-cially felt against those who were of their own race andkindred who had bowed in obedience to heavens com-mands.
