the hill Riplah;

32 And the remainder he concealed in the west valley, on the
west of the river Sidon, and so down into the borders of the land
Manti.
Alma 43:33
33 And thus having placed his army according to his desire, he
was prepared to meet them.
Alma 43:34
34 And it came to pass that the Lamanites came up on the north
of the hill, where a part of the army of Moroni was concealed.
Alma 43:35
35 And as the Lamanites had passed the hill Riplah, and came
into the valley, and began to cross the river Sidon, the army
which was concealed on the south of the hill, which was led by a
man whose name was Lehi, and he led his army forth and encircled
the Lamanites about on the east in their rear.
Alma 43:36
36 And it came to pass that the Lamanites, when they saw the
