In Alma 62:33 it states the after encountering the armies of Lehi and Teancum, the Lamanites "fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the seashore, until they came to the land of Moroni." This verse might imply that the Lamanite route went eastward to very near the shore, then moved along it southward to the land of Moroni, where they apparently joined the other group of Lamanites who had fled from the city of Nephihah (Alma 62:33). Thus Mormon states that the Lamanites "were all in one body in the land of Moroni." [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
