Behold, my sons,
I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God;
and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words.
Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents
who came out of the land of Jerusalem;
and this I have done
that when you remember your names
ye may remember them;
and when ye remember them
ye may remember their works;
and when ye remember their works
ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.

that it may be said of you, and also written,
even as it has been said and written of them.

which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may boast,

yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life,
which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.

the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people;

yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,
yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you,
it shall have no power over you
to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo,
because of the rock upon which ye are built,
which is a sure foundation,
a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done.
Helaman 5:18

with such great power and authority,
for they had power and authority given unto them that they might speak,

behold, they went forth into the prison to take them
that they might slay them.
Helaman 5:23
And it came to pass that
Nephi and Lehi were encircled about as if by fire,
even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them
for fear lest they should be burned.

and they were as standing in the midst of fire and were not burned.
Helaman 5:24
And when they saw
that they were encircled about with a pillar of fire,
and that it burned them not,
their hearts did take courage.
Helaman 5:25

neither durst they come near unto them,
but stood as if they were struck dumb with amazement.

and began to speak unto them, saying:
Fear not,
for behold, it is God that has shown unto you this marvelous thing,
in the which is shown unto you
that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us.
Helaman 5:27
And behold, when they had said these words,
the earth shook exceedingly,
and the walls of the prison did shake
as if they were about to tumble to the earth;
but behold, they did not fall.
And behold, they that were in the prison
were Lamanites and Nephites who were dissenters.
Helaman 5:28
And it came to pass that they were overshadowed with a cloud of darkness,
and an awful solemn fear came upon them.
Helaman 5:29

as if it were above the cloud of darkness, saying:
Repent ye, repent ye,
and seek no more to destroy my servants
whom I have sent unto you to declare good tidings.
Helaman 5:30
And it came to pass when they heard this voice,
and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder,
neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise,
but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness,
as if it had been a whisper,
and it did pierce even to the very soul—
Helaman 5:32
And behold the voice came again, saying:
Repent ye, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand;
and seek no more to destroy my servants.
And it came to pass that the earth shook again, and the walls trembled.
Helaman 5:34

because of the cloud of darkness which did overshadow them;
yea, and also they were immovable
because of the fear which did come upon them.

and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi;
and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of angels.
And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven;
and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices
to some being whom they beheld.
Helaman 5:37
And it came to pass that this man did cry unto the multitude,
that they might turn and look.

that they did turn and look;
and they did behold the faces of Nephi and Lehi.

And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him:
What shall we do, that this cloud of darkness
may be removed from overshadowing us?
Helaman 5:42
And it came to pass that they all did begin
to cry unto the voice of him who had shaken the earth;
yea, they did cry even until the cloud of darkness was dispersed.
Helaman 5:43
And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about,
and saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing them,
behold, they saw that they were encircled about,
yea every soul, by a pillar of fire.
Helaman 5:44
And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them;
yea, they were encircled about;
yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire,
yet it did harm them not,
neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison;
and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.
Helaman 5:46
And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them,
yea, a pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying:
Helaman 5:50
And it came to pass that they did go forth, and did minister unto the people,
declaring throughout all the regions round about
all the things which they had heard and seen,
insomuch that the more part of the Lamanites were convinced of them,
because of the greatness of the evidences which they had received.
Helaman 5:52
And it came to pass that
they did yield up unto the Nephites the lands of their possession.
Helaman 6:1
And it came to pass that when the sixty and second year
of the reign of the judges had ended,
all these things had happened
and the Lamanites had become, the more part of them, a righteous people,
insomuch that their righteousness did exceed that of the Nephites,
because of their firmness and their steadiness in the faith.
Helaman 6:2
For behold, there were many of the Nephites
who had become hardened and impenitent and grossly wicked,
insomuch that they did reject the word of God
and all the preaching and prophesying which did come among them.
Helaman 6:4
And it came to pass that
many of the Lamanites did come down into the land of Zarahemla,
and did declare unto the people of the Nephites the manner of their conversion,
and did exhort them to faith and repentance.
Helaman 6:6
And it came to pass that many of the Lamanites did go into the land northward;
and also Nephi and Lehi went into the land northward, to preach unto the people.
And thus ended the sixty and third year.
Helaman 6:7
And behold, there was peace in all the land,
insomuch that the Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they would,
whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites.
Helaman 6:8
And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would,
whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites;
and thus they did have free intercourse one with another,
to buy and to sell, and to get gain, according to their desire.
Helaman 6:9
And it came to pass that they became exceedingly rich,
both the Lamanites and the Nephites;
and they did have an exceeding plenty of gold, and of silver,
and of all manner of precious metals,
both in the land south and in the land north.
Helaman 6:14
And in the sixty and fifth year they did also have great joy and peace,
yea, much preaching and many prophecies concerning that which was to come.
And thus passed away the sixty and fifth year.
Helaman 6:15
And it came to pass that in the sixty and sixth year of the reign of the judges,
behold, Cezoram was murdered by an unknown hand
as he sat upon the judgment–seat.
And it came to pass that in the same year,
that his son, who had been appointed by the people in his stead,
was also murdered.
And thus ended the sixty and sixth year.
Helaman 6:17
For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world
that they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodshed;
therefore they began to set their hearts upon their riches;
yea, they began to seek to get gain
that they might be lifted up one above another;
therefore they began to commit secret murders, and to rob and to plunder,
that they might get gain.
Helaman 6:18
And now behold, those murderers and plunderers were a band
who had been formed by Kishkumen and Gadianton.
And now it had come to pass that
there were many, even among the Nephites, of Gadianton's band.
But behold, they were more numerous
among the more wicked part of the Lamanites.
And they were called Gadianton's robbers and murderers.
Helaman 6:20
And now it came to pass that
when the Lamanites found that there were robbers among them
they were exceedingly sorrowful;
and they did use every means in their power
to destroy them off the face of the earth.
Helaman 6:21
But behold, Satan did stir up the hearts of the more part of the Nephites,
insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers,
and did enter into their covenants and their oaths,
that they would protect and preserve one another
in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed,
that they should not suffer for their murders,
and their plunderings, and their stealings.
Helaman 6:22
And it came to pass that they did have their signs,
yea, their secret signs, and their secret words;
and this that they might distinguish a brother
who had entered into the covenant,
that whatsoever wickedness his brother should do
he should not be injured by his brother,
nor by those who did belong to his band,
who had taken this covenant.
Helaman 6:26
Now behold, those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gadianton
from the records which were delivered unto Helaman;
but behold, they were put into the heart of Gadianton
by that same being who did entice our first parents
to partake of the forbidden fruit—
Helaman 6:27
Yea, that same being who did plot with Cain,
that if he would murder his brother Abel
it should not be known unto the world.
And he did plot with Cain and his followers from that time forth.
Helaman 6:28
And also it is that same being who put it into the hearts of the people
to build a tower sufficiently high that they might get to heaven.
And it was that same being
who led on the people who came from that tower into this land;
who spread the works of darkness and abominations
over all the face of the land,
until he dragged the people down
to an entire destruction, and to an everlasting hell.
Helaman 6:29
Yea, it is that same being who put it into the heart of Gadianton
to still carry on the work of darkness, and of secret murder;
and he has brought it forth from the beginning of man
even down to this time.
Helaman 6:31
And now behold, he had got great hold upon the hearts of the Nephites;
yea, insomuch that they had become exceedingly wicked;
yea, the more part of them had turned out of the way of righteousness,
and did trample under their feet the commandments of God,
and did turn unto their own ways,
and did build up unto themselves idols of their gold and their silver.
Helaman 6:32
And it came to pass that all these iniquities did come unto them
in the space of not many years,
insomuch that a more part of it had come unto them
in the sixty and seventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
Helaman 6:34
And thus we see that the Nephites did begin to dwindle in unbelief,
and grow in wickedness and abominations,
while the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God;
yea, they did begin to keep his statutes and commandments,
and to walk in truth and uprightness before him.
Helaman 6:35
And thus we see that the Spirit of the Lord began to withdraw from the Nephites,
because of the wickedness and the hardness of their hearts.
Helaman 6:36
And thus we see that the Lord began to pour out his Spirit upon the Lamanites,
because of their easiness and willingness to believe in his words.
Helaman 6:37
And it came to pass that the Lamanites did hunt the band of robbers of Gadianton;
and they did preach the word of God among the more wicked part of them,
insomuch that this band of robbers was utterly destroyed from among the Lamanites.
Helaman 6:38
And it came to pass on the other hand,
that the Nephites did build them up and support them,
beginning at the more wicked part of them,
until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites,
and had seduced the more part of the righteous
until they had come down to believe in their works
and partake of their spoils,
and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.
Helaman 6:39
And thus they did obtain the sole management of the government,
insomuch that they did trample under their feet and smite and rend
and turn their backs upon the poor and the meek, and the humble followers of God.
Helaman 6:40
And thus we see that they were in an awful state,
and ripening for an everlasting destruction.
Helaman 6:41
And it came to pass that thus ended the sixty and eighth year
of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
