24 Nevertheless, whosoever putteth his trust in him, the same shall be lifted up at the last day.
25 Yea, and thus it was with this people.
26 For behold, I will shew unto you that they were brought into bondage, and none could deliver them but the Lord their God; yea, even the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.
27 And it came to pass that he did deliver them, and he did shew forth his mighty power unto them, and great were their rejoicings.
28 For behold, it came to pass that while they were in the land of Helam, yea, in the city of Helam, while tilling the land round about, behold an army of the Lamanites were in the borders of the land.
29 Now it came to pass that the brethren of Alma fled from their fields, and gathered themselves together into the city of Helam; and they were much frightened because of the appearance of the Lamanites.
30 But Alma went forth and stood among them, and exhorted them that they should not be frightened, but that they should remember the Lord their God, and he would deliver them;
31 Therefore they hushed their fears, and began to cry unto the Lord, that he would soften the hearts of the Lamanites, that they would spare them, and their wives, and their children.
32 And it came to pass that the Lord did soften the hearts of the Lamanites.
33 And Alma and his brethren went forth and delivered themselves up into their hands; and the Lamanites took possession of the land of Helam.
34 Now the armies of the Lamanites which had followed after the people of King Limhi, had been lost in the wilderness for many days.
