Helaman 10:15 15 And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them the word, behold, they did still harden their hearts and would not hearken unto his words; therefore they did revile against him, and did seek to lay their hands upon him that they might cast him into prison.

Helaman 10:16 16 But behold, the power of God was with him, and they could not
take him to cast him into prison, for he was taken by the Spirit
and conveyed away out of the midst of them.

Helaman 10:17 17 And it came to pass that thus he did go forth in the Spirit,
from multitude to multitude, declaring the word of God, even
until he had declared it unto them all, or sent it forth among
all the people.

Helaman 10:18 18 And it came to pass that they would not hearken unto his
words; and there began to be contentions, insomuch that they were
divided against themselves and began to slay one another with the
sword.

Helaman 10:19 19 And thus ended the seventy and first year of the reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi.

Helaman 11
Chapter 11

Helaman 11:1 1 And now it came to pass in the seventy and second year of the
reign of the judges that the contentions did increase, insomuch
that there were wars throughout all the land among all the people
of Nephi.

Helaman 11:2 2 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 11:3 3 And it came to pass that in this year Nephi did cry unto the
Lord, saying: 

Helaman 11:4 4 O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by
the sword; but O Lord, rather let there be a famine in the land,
to stir them up in remembrance of the Lord their God, and perhaps
they will repent and turn unto thee.

Helaman 11:5 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 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 11:7 7 And it came to pass that the people saw that they were about
to perish by famine, and they began to remember the Lord their
God; and they began to remember the words of Nephi.

Helaman 11:8 8 And the people began to plead with their chief judges and
their leaders, that they would say unto Nephi:  Behold, we know
that thou art a man of God, and therefore cry unto the Lord our
God that he turn away from us this famine, lest all the words
which thou hast spoken concerning our destruction be fulfilled.
