Helaman 1:14

And it came to pass in the forty and first year of the reign of the judges,

that the Lamanites had gathered together an innumerable army of men,

and armed them with swords, and with cimeters

and with bows, and with arrows,

and with head–plates, and with breastplates,

and with all manner of shields of every kind.

Helaman 1:15

And they came down again that they might pitch battle against the Nephites.

And they were led by a man whose name was Coriantumr;

and he was a descendant of Zarahemla;

and he was a dissenter from among the Nephites;

and he was a large and a mighty man.

Helaman 1:16

Therefore, the king of the Lamanites,

whose name was Tubaloth, who was the son of Ammoron,

supposing that Coriantumr,

being a mighty man,

could stand against the Nephites,

with his strength and also with his great wisdom,

insomuch that by sending him forth he should gain power over the Nephites—

Helaman 1:17

Therefore he did stir them up to anger,

and he did gather together his armies,

and he did appoint Coriantumr to be their leader,

and did cause that they should march down to the land of Zarahemla

to battle against the Nephites.

Helaman 1:18

And it came to pass that

because of so much contention and so much difficulty in the government,

that they had not kept sufficient guards in the land of Zarahemla;

for they had supposed that the Lamanites durst not come

into the heart of their lands to attack that great city Zarahemla.

Helaman 1:19

But it came to pass that Coriantumr did march forth

at the head of his numerous host, and came upon the inhabitants of the city,

and their march was with such exceedingly great speed

that there was no time for the Nephites to gather together their armies.

Helaman 1:20

Therefore Coriantumr did cut down the watch by the entrance of the city,

and did march forth with his whole army into the city,

and they did slay every one who did oppose them,

insomuch that they did take possession of the whole city.

Helaman 1:21

And it came to pass that Pacumeni, who was the chief judge,

did flee before Coriantumr, even to the walls of the city.

And it came to pass that Coriantumr did smite him against the wall,

insomuch that he died.

And thus ended the days of Pacumeni.
