Just like that.

We were desirous that the Lamanites should come upon us; for we were not desirous to make an attack upon them in their strongholds.

One.

Two.

Three.

Here’s your sword, alright?

Now you are ready to go.

See him?

Good job. Getting ready.

One. Two. Three. [MEN GRUNTING]

One. Two. Three. [MEN GRUNTING]

The Lamanites are coming! No!

Open the gates!

Open the gates!

And now it came to pass, there was brought unto us many provisions from

the fathers of those my two thousand sons. Father!

My father!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The Lamanites, thus seeing our forces increase daily, and provisions arrive for our support, began to be fearful, and began to sally forth.

When we saw that the Lamanites began to grow uneasy on this wise, we were desirous to bring a stratagem into effect upon them.

Therefore Antipus ordered that I should march forth with my little sons as if we were carrying provisions to a neighboring city.

Antipus did march forth with a part of his army, leaving the remainder to maintain the city.

But he did not march forth until I had gone forth with my little army, and came near the city Antiparah.

In the city Antiparah were stationed the strongest army of the

Lamanites; yea, the most numerous.

When they had been informed by their spies, they came forth with their army and marched against us.

We did flee before them, northward.

And thus we did lead away the most powerful army of the Lamanites.

When they saw the army of Antipus pursuing them, they did not turn to the right nor to the left… Faster!

...but pursued their march in a straight course after us, to slay us

before Antipus should overtake them.

Helaman’s sons are in danger! Quickly!

They did not overtake us, neither did Antipus overtake them; therefore we did camp for the night.

Helaman.

They have stopped for the night.

Let us give thanks to the Lord.

O Lord our God, we thank thee...

...please bless our sons and brothers.

We know that thou, God, will deliver them.

Please watch over them and protect them.
