34.  And  it  came  to  pass  that  Moroni,  and  Lehi,  and
Teancum,  did  encamp  with  their  armies  round  about  in  the
borders  of  the  land  of  Moroni,  insomuch  that  the  Lamanites
were  encircled  about  in  the  borders  by  the  wilderness,  on
the  south,  and  in  the  borders  by  the  wilderness,  on  the
east;

35.  And  thus  they  did  encamp  for  the  night.  For  be-
hold, the  Nephites  and  the  Lamanites  also,  were  weary
because  of  the  greatness  of  the  march ;  therefore  they  did  not
resolve  upon  any  stratagem  in  the  night  time,  save  it  were
Teancum ;  for  he  was  exceeding  angry  with  Ammoron.  inso-
much that  he  considered  that  Ammoron,  and  Amalickiah

his  brother,  had  been  the  cause  of  this  great  and  lasting
i^ar  between  them  and  the  Lamanites,  which  had  been
the  cause  of  so  much  war  and  bloodshed,  yea,  and  so  much
famine,

96.  And  it  came  to  pass  that  Teancum  in  his  anger  did
SO  forth  into  the  camp  of  the  Lamanites,  and  did  let  him-
self  down  over  the  walls  of  the  city.  And  he  went  forth
with  a  cord,  from  place  to  place,  insomuch,  that  he  did  find
the  king;  and  he  did  cast  a  "Javelin  at  him,  which  did  pierce
him  near  the  heart.  But  behold,  the  kins  did  awake  his
servant  before  he  died,  insomuch  that  they  aid  pursue  Tean-
cum, and  slew  hinL

37.  Now  it  came  to  pass  that  when  Lehi  and  Moroni
knew  that  Teancum  was  dead,  they  were  exceeding  sorrow-
ful :  for  behold  he  had  been  a  man  who  had  fought  valiantly
for  his  country,  yea,  a  true  friend  to  'liberty ;  and  he  had
suffered  very  many  exceeding  sore  afflictions.  But  behold,
he  was  dead,  and  had  gone  the  way  of  all  the  earth.
