ninth year had passed
away. And in the three hundred and fiftieth year we made a
treaty with the Lamanites and the robbers of Gadianton, in which
we did get the lands of our inheritance divided.

Mormon 2:29
29 And the Lamanites did give unto us the land northward, yea,
even to the narrow passage which led into the land southward.
And we did give unto the Lamanites all the land southward.

Mormon 3
Chapter 3

Mormon 3:1
1 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did not come to battle
again until ten years more had passed away. And behold, I had
employed my people, the Nephites, in preparing their lands and
their arms against the time of battle.

Mormon 3:2
2 And it came to pass that the Lord did say unto me: Cry unto

any of our lands; therefore we did fortify against them with all
our force.

Mormon 3:7

Mormon 3:8
