108 And it came to pass that we did meet the spies of our armies, who had been sent out to watch the camp of the Lamanites.
109 And they cried unto us, saying, Behold, the armies of the Lamanites are marching towards the city of Cumeni; and behold, they will fall upon them, yea, and will destroy our people.
110 And it came to pass that our prisoners did hear their cries, which caused them to take courage; and they did rise up in rebellion against us.
111 And it came to pass because of their rebellion, we did cause that our swords should come upon them.
112 And it came to pass that they did, in a body, run upon our swords, in the which, the greater number of them were slain; and the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.
113 And behold, when they had fled, and we could not overtake them, we took our march with speed towards the city Cumeni; and behold, we did arrive in time that we might assist our brethren in preserving the city.
114 And behold, we are again delivered out of the hands of our enemies.
115 And blessed is the name of our God: for behold, it is he that has delivered us; yea, that has done this great thing for us.
116 Now it came to pass that when I, Helaman, had heard these words of Gid, I was filled with exceeding joy, because of the goodness of God in preserving us, that we might not all perish;
117 Yea, and I trust that the souls of them who have been slain, have entered into the rest of their God.
118 And behold, now it came to pass that our next object was to obtain the city of Manti; but behold, there was no way that we could lead them out of the city, by our small bands.
