Alma 63:12 12 Now behold, all those engravings which
were in the possession
of Helaman were written and sent forth among the children
of men
throughout all the land, save it were those parts
which had been
commanded by Alma should not go forth.
Alma 63:13 13 Nevertheless, these things were to
be kept sacred, and handed
down from one generation to another; therefore, in
this year,
they had been conferred upon Helaman, before the death
of
Shiblon.
Alma 63:14 14 And it came to pass also in this year
that there were some
dissenters who had gone forth unto the Lamanites;
and they were
stirred up again to anger against the Nephites.
Alma 63:15 15 And also in this same year they came
down with a numerous
army to war against the people of Moronihah, or against
the army
of Moronihah, in the which they were beaten and driven
back again
to their own lands, suffering great loss.
Alma 63:16 16 And thus ended the thirty and ninth
year of the reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi.
Alma 63:17 17 And thus ended the account of Alma,
and Helaman his son, and
also Shiblon, who was his son.

Helaman 1
Chapter 1
Helaman 1:1 1 And now behold, it came to pass in
the commencement of the
fortieth year of the reign of the judges over the
people of
Nephi, there began to be a serious difficulty among
the people of
the Nephites.
Helaman 1:2 2 For behold, Pahoran had died, and
gone the way of all the
earth; therefore there began to be a serious contention
concerning who should have the judgment-seat among
the brethren,
who were the sons of Pahoran.
Helaman 1:3 3 Now these are their names who did
contend for the
judgment-seat, who did also cause the people to contend:
Pahoran,
Paanchi, and Pacumeni.
Helaman 1:4 4 Now these are not all the sons of
Pahoran, (for he had many)
but these are they who did contend for the judgment-seat;
therefore, they did cause three divisions among the
people.
Helaman 1:5 5 Nevertheless, it came to pass that
Pahoran was appointed by
the voice of the people to be chief judge and a governor
over the
people of Nephi.
Helaman 1:6 6 And it came to pass that Pacumeni,
when he saw that he could
not obtain the judgment-seat, he did unite with the
voice of the
people.
