At this point in time: (1) Alma and 450 people had departed, (2) Noah and his priests had also departed, (3) there had been a "great contention" among the people of Noah in which "the lesser part began to breathe out threatenings against the king" (Mosiah 19:3), and (4) the general land of Nephi was Lamanite country. Thus, even a remark that the people of Limhi "were not half so numerous as the Lamanites" (Mosiah 20:11) seems inflated. How could the numbers of the people of Limhi even come close to being "half so numerous as the Lamanites"? Either the people of Limhi were numbered in the thousands, or perhaps the Lamanites had not sent their whole army against the people of Limhi at this time. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
