Helaman 2
Somehow I never connected before that the band of Gadianton, all those who wanted to overthrow the government of judges, had learned to use murder to reach their goals because they had repeatedly failed in their attempts to use the political process to rally the people behind them. (Amlici, Amalakiah, Pachus, the King-men, even Morianton could be added to this list)
The reason that the servant of Helaman was out by night to learn the signs of the Gadiantons was that the leaders of government were still trying to find Kiskumen as well as all those who had continued to follow Paanchi to the point of treason.
