for the murder of this man, we know not who has done

       it; and only this much we know, we ran and came according as ye

       desired, and behold he was dead, according to the words of Nephi.

      Helaman 9:16

       16 And now it came to pass that the judges did expound the

       matter unto the people, and did cry out against Nephi, saying:

       Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed with some one to

       slay the judge, and then he might declare it unto us, that he

       might convert us unto his faith, that he might raise himself to

       be a great man, chosen of God, and a prophet.

      Helaman 9:17

       17 And now behold, we will detect this man, and he shall confess

       his fault and make known unto us the true murderer of this judge.

      Helaman 9:18

       18 And it came to pass that the five were liberated on the day

       of the burial. Nevertheless, they did rebuke the judges in the

       words which they had spoken against Nephi, and did contend with

       them one by one, insomuch that they did confound them.

      Helaman 9:19

       19 Nevertheless, they caused that Nephi should be taken and

       bound and brought before the multitude, and they began to

       question him in divers ways that they might cross him, that they

       might accuse him to death—

      Helaman 9:20

       20 Saying unto him: Thou art confederate; who is this man that

       hath done this murder? Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault;

       saying, Behold here is money; and also we will grant unto thee

       thy life if thou wilt tell us, and acknowledge the agreement

       which thou hast made with him.

      Helaman 9:21

       21 But Nephi said unto them: O ye fools, ye uncircumcised of

       heart, ye blind, and ye stiffnecked people, do ye know how long

       the Lord your God will suffer you that ye shall go on in this

       your way of sin?

      Helaman 9:22

       22 O ye ought to begin to howl and mourn, because of the great

       destruction which at this time doth await you, except ye shall

       repent.

      Helaman 9:23

       23 Behold ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should

       murder Seezoram, our chief judge. But behold, I say unto you,

       that this is because I have testified unto you that ye might know

       concerning this thing; yea, even for a witness unto you, that I

       did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.

      Helaman 9:24

       24 And because I have done this, ye say that I have agreed with

       a man that he should do this thing; yea, because I showed unto

       you this sign ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.

      Helaman 9:25

       25 And now behold, I will show unto you another sign, and see if

       ye will in this thing seek to destroy me.

      Helaman 9:26

       26 Behold I say unto you: Go to the house of Seantum, who is the

       brother of Seezoram, and say unto him—

      Helaman 9:27

       27 Has Nephi, the pretended prophet, who doth prophesy so much

       evil concerning this people, agreed with thee, in the which ye

       have murdered Seezoram, who is your brother?

      Helaman 9:28

       28 And behold, he shall say unto you, Nay.

      Helaman 9:29

       29 And ye shall say unto him: Have ye murdered your brother?

      Helaman 9:30

       30 And he shall stand with fear, and wist not what to say. And

       behold, he shall deny unto you; and he shall make as if he were

       astonished; nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is

       innocent.

      Helaman 9:31

       31 But behold, ye shall examine him, and ye shall find blood

       upon the skirts of his cloak.

      Helaman 9:32

       32 And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: From whence cometh

       this blood? Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother?

      Helaman 9:33

       33 And then shall he tremble, and shall look pale, even as if

       death had come upon him.

      Helaman 9:34

       34 And then shall ye say: Because of this fear and this paleness

       which has come upon your face, behold, we know that thou art

       guilty.

      Helaman 9:35

       35 And then shall greater fear come upon him; and then shall he

       confess unto you, and deny no more that he has done this murder.

      Helaman 9:36

       36 And then shall he say unto you, that I, Nephi, know nothing

       concerning the matter save it were given unto me by the power of

       God. And then shall ye know that I am an honest man, and that I

       am sent unto you from God.

      Helaman 9:37

       37 And it came to pass that they went and did, even according as

       Nephi had said unto them. And behold, the words which he had

       said were true; for according to the words he did deny; and also

       according to the words he did confess.

      Helaman 9:38

       38 And he was brought to prove that he himself was the very

       murderer, insomuch that the five were set at liberty, and also

       was Nephi.

      Helaman 9:39

       39 And there were some of the Nephites who believed on the words

       of Nephi; and there were some also, who believed because of the

       testimony of the five, for they had been converted while they

       were in prison.

      Helaman 9:40

       40 And now there were some among the people, who said that Nephi

       was a prophet.

      Helaman 9:41

       41 And there were others who said: Behold, he is a god, for

       except he was a god he could not know of all things. For behold,

       he has told us the thoughts of our hearts, and also has told us

       things; and even he has brought unto our knowledge the true

       murderer of our chief judge.
