And now it came to pass that I received an epistle from Ammoron, the king,

that he would deliver up the city of Antiparah unto us.

Alma 57:2

But I sent an epistle unto the king, that we were sure

our forces were sufficient to take the city of Antiparah by our force;

and by delivering up the prisoners for that city

we should suppose ourselves unwise,

and that we would only deliver up our prisoners on exchange.

for he would not exchange prisoners;

therefore we began to make preparations to go against the city of Antiparah.

Alma 58:41

And now, my beloved brother, Moroni,

may the Lord our God,

who has redeemed us and made us free,

keep you continually in his presence;

yea, and may he favor this people,

even that ye may have success in obtaining the possession

of all that which the Lamanites have taken from us,

which was for our support.

And now, behold, I close mine epistle.

I am Helaman, the son of Alma.
