After chasing off a peaceful group that comprised a significant portion of his population, Noah should have expected blowback from his remaining population. The people of Alma might have been 15% of his total population but if they were even 10% you have to assume that at least as many people who remained knew enough if those people to recognize them as good members of the society so that when Noah sent his armies after then those other people would conclude that nobody was safe from their unstable King. That is what leads a man like Gideon into action.
