And it was this secret band of robbers

who did carry on this work of destruction and wickedness.

And this war did last all that year;

and in the seventy and third year it did also last.

Helaman 11:5

And so it was done, according to the words of Nephi.

And there was a great famine upon the land, among all the people of Nephi.

And thus in the seventy and fourth year the famine did continue,

and the work of destruction did cease by the sword

but became sore by famine.

Helaman 11:6

And this work of destruction did also continue in the seventy and fifth year.

For the earth was smitten

that it was dry, and did not yield forth grain in the season of grain;

and the whole earth was smitten,

even among the Lamanites as well as among the Nephites,

so that they were smitten

that they did perish by thousands in the more wicked parts of the land.

Helaman 11:28

And it came to pass that it was expedient

that there should be a stop put to this work of destruction;

therefore they sent an army of strong men

into the wilderness and upon the mountains

to search out this band of robbers, and to destroy them.
