Alma 57
In a time of strength and ample resources Helaman and his men (more than just the 2000 striplings) boldly surrounded the city of Cumeni and starved it of supplies – there was no need to be timid in their efforts. I wonder if Helaman was employing the tactic of putting his prisoners to work. That worked for Moroni, but with the problems that Helaman was having perhaps he did not know that method of managing large numbers of prisoners (or else he really had that many prisoners – both are valid possibilities).
I just love that the striplings did “administer death to all who did oppose them.” They did not allow any evil to have any power over them.
