Verse 35 is the moral summation of the argument begun in 32-34. Nephi makes his point that when there is a conflict between two peoples, the people who are favored of the Lord will prevail. Once again Nephi is using history to make his point. From a much later point in history, modern men might dispute Nephi's assumptions, but they were sufficient for his purposes. Nephi was using history as a spiritual model, and was using a model he shared with his brothers.
