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.
119 For behold they remembered that which we had hitherto done; therefore we could not decoy them away from their strongholds;
120 And they were so much more numerous than was our army, that we durst not go forth and attack them in their strongholds.
121 Yea, and it became expedient that we should employ our men, to the maintaining those parts of the land, of the which we had retained of our possessions;
122 Therefore it became expedient that we should wait, that we might receive more strength from the land of Zarahemla, and also a new supply of provisions.
123 And it came to pass that I thus did send an embassy to the governor of our land, to acquaint him concerning the affairs of our people.
