Helaman the some of Helaman is the righteous son of a famous righteous man. Sometimes we expect that to naturally be the case but the sons of Pahoran who were his contemporaries prove otherwise. Their father was also a famous righteous man but one of them tried to overthrow the governance his father had lead simply because his brother had succeeded their father. To those who have read the book of Ether this is a strikingly familiar occurrence. Helaman is chosen as chief judge agreed all the of the sons of Pahoran who were interested in the position were killed (on of them executed for treason). Following in the footsteps of their father and his own grandfather before their father Helaman leads the people righteously.
