Moroni asks Pahoran to strengthen the forces of Helaman—The Lamanites take the city of Nephihah—Moroni is angry with the government. About 62 B.C.
Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
thirtieth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
over
the
people
of
Nephi,
after
Moroni
had
received
and
had
read
Helaman's
a
epistle,
he
was
exceedingly
rejoiced
because
of
the
welfare,
yea,
the
exceeding
success
which
Helaman
had
had,
in
obtaining
b
those
lands
which
were
lost.
2 Yea,
and
he
did
make
it
known
unto
all
his
people,
in
all
the
land
round
about
in
that
part
where
he
was,
that
they
might
rejoice
also.
3 And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
immediately
sent
a
an
epistle
to
b
Pahoran,
desiring
that
he
should
cause
men
to
be
gathered
together
to
strengthen
Helaman,
or
the
armies
of
Helaman,
insomuch
that
he
might
with
ease
maintain
that
part
of
the
land
which
he
had
been
so
miraculously
prospered
in
regaining.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
when
Moroni
had
sent
this
epistle
to
the
land
of
Zarahemla,
he
began
again
to
lay
a
plan
that
he
might
obtain
the
remainder
of
those
possessions
and
cities
which
the
Lamanites
had
taken
from
them.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
while
Moroni
was
thus
making
preparations
to
go
against
the
Lamanites
to
battle,
behold,
the
people
of
a
Nephihah,
who
were
gathered
together
from
the
city
of
Moroni
and
the
city
of
Lehi
and
the
city
of
Morianton,
were
attacked
by
the
Lamanites.
6 Yea,
even
those
who
had
been
a
compelled
to
flee
from
the
land
of
Manti,
and
from
the
land
round
about,
had
come
over
and
joined
the
Lamanites
in
this
part
of
the
land.
7 And
thus
being
exceedingly
numerous,
yea,
and
receiving
strength
from
day
to
day,
by
the
command
of
Ammoron
they
came
forth
against
the
people
of
Nephihah,
and
they
did
begin
to
slay
them
with
an
exceedingly
great
slaughter.
8 And
their
armies
were
so
numerous
that
the
remainder
of
the
people
of
a
Nephihah
were
b
obliged
to
flee
before
them;
and
they
came
even
and
joined
the
army
of
Moroni.
9 And
now
as
Moroni
had
supposed
that
there
a
should
be
men
sent
to
the
city
of
Nephihah,
to
the
assistance
of
the
people
to
maintain
that
city,
and
knowing
that
it
was
easier
to
keep
the
city
from
falling
into
the
hands
of
the
Lamanites
than
to
retake
it
from
them,
he
supposed
that
they
would
easily
maintain
that
city.
10 Therefore
he
retained
all
his
force
to
maintain
those
places
which
he
had
recovered.
11 And
now,
when
Moroni
saw
that
the
city
of
Nephihah
was
a
lost
he
was
exceedingly
sorrowful,
and
began
to
doubt,
because
of
the
wickedness
of
the
people,
whether
they
should
not
fall
into
the
hands
of
their
brethren.
12 Now
this
was
the
case
with
all
his
chief
captains.
They
doubted
and
marveled
also
because
of
the
wickedness
of
the
people,
and
this
because
of
the
success
of
the
Lamanites
over
them.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Moroni
was
angry
with
the
government,
because
of
their
a
indifference
concerning
the
freedom
of
their
country.
