Mormon notes that when Coriantumr had taken possession of the city of Zarahemla, he felt that he "had obtained the possession of the strongest hold in all the land," and "his heart took courage" (Helaman 1:22). However, one should note that in regards to army strength and the general land of Zarahemla, "Moronihah had caused that their strong armies should maintain those parts round about by the borders" [of the general land of Zarahemla] (Helaman 1:26).
