3 Nephi 4 – 5
The Rogers were unable to subsist without spreading themselves out upon the land so they assumed the Nephites were likewise dependent upon the land. They couldn’t imagine that the Nephites would be prepared for years of bing cut off from their land. The robbers had probably find lots of preparation themselves in planning how to supply their armies with game from the wilderness while they lay siege against the Nephites.
I don’t think I ever realized that the Nephites were fully united and rejoicing in having been delivered from destruction less than ten years before Christ visited them. Their return to wickedness was rapid in that time.
