Alma 56:57

And as we had no place for our prisoners,

that we could guard them to keep them from the armies of the Lamanites,

therefore we sent them to the land of Zarahemla,

and a part of those men who were not slain of Antipus, with them;

and the remainder I took and joined them to my stripling Ammonites,

and took our march back to the city of Judea.

Alma 57:9

And it came to pass that we did camp round about the city for many nights;

but we did sleep upon our swords, and keep guards,

that the Lamanites could not come upon us by night and slay us,

which they attempted many times;

but as many times as they attempted this their blood was spilt.

Alma 57:13

But it came to pass that our prisoners were so numerous

that, notwithstanding the enormity of our numbers,

we were obliged to employ all our force

to keep them, or to put them to death.

Alma 58:40

But behold, they have received many wounds;

nevertheless they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God has made them free;

and they are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day;

yea, they do observe to keep his statutes,

and his judgments, and his commandments continually;

and their faith is strong in the prophecies concerning that which is to come.

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.
