The retaking of Antiparah should remind us to think carefully about our options. When Ammoron offered the city in exchange for prisoners we have reason to believe the offer was made because he knew that they were not strong enough to maintain the city anyway and figured he would try to get something in return for it. When Helaman responded with confidence in his ability to take the city (regardless of what he did it didn’t know at that time) the Lamanites simply abandoned the city rather than lose more lives in a lost cause.
