Although the historian of this part of the record mentions in Alma 51:25 that the Lamanites decided not "to go against the city of Nephihah to battle," in the next verse the historian records that the Lamanites went on "taking possession of many cities, the city of Nephihah, and the city of Lehi . . . ," etc. Although it is not clear whether or not the historian intended to include the city of Nephihah in this list, it is evident that the city is captured later by the Lamanites. (See Alma 59:7-9.)
