22 Our father Lehi was driven out of Jerusalem because he

       testified of these things. Nephi also testified of these things,

       and also almost all of our fathers, even down to this time; yea,

       they have testified of the coming of Christ, and have looked

       forward, and have rejoiced in his day which is to come.

      Helaman 8:23

       23 And behold, he is God, and he is with them, and he did

       manifest himself unto them, that they were redeemed by him; and

       they gave unto him glory, because of that which is to come.

      Helaman 8:24

       24 And now, seeing ye know these things and cannot deny them

       except ye shall lie, therefore in this ye have sinned, for ye

       have rejected all these things, notwithstanding so many evidences

       which ye have received; yea, even ye have received all things,

       both things in heaven, and all things which are in the earth, as

       a witness that they are true.

      Helaman 8:25

       25 But behold, ye have rejected the truth, and rebelled against

       your holy God; and even at this time, instead of laying up for

       yourselves treasures in heaven, where nothing doth corrupt, and

       where nothing can come which is unclean, ye are heaping up for

       yourselves wrath against the day of judgment.

      Helaman 8:26

       26 Yea, even at this time ye are ripening, because of your

       murders and your fornication and wickedness, for everlasting

       destruction; yea, and except ye repent it will come unto you

       soon.

      Helaman 8:27

       27 Yea, behold it is now even at your doors; yea, go ye in unto

       the judgment-seat, and search; and behold, your judge is

       murdered, and he lieth in his blood; and he hath been murdered by

       his brother, who seeketh to sit in the judgment-seat.

      Helaman 8:28

       28 And behold, they both belong to your secret band, whose

       author is Gadianton and the evil one who seeketh to destroy the

       souls of men.

      Helaman 9 Chapter 9

      Helaman 9:1

       1 Behold, now it came to pass that when Nephi had spoken these

       words, certain men who were among them ran to the judgment-seat;

       yea, even there were five who went, and they said among

       themselves, as they went:

      Helaman 9:2

       2 Behold, now we will know of a surety whether this man be a

       prophet and God hath commanded him to prophesy such marvelous

       things unto us. Behold, we do not believe that he hath; yea, we

       do not believe that he is a prophet; nevertheless, if this thing

       which he has said concerning the chief judge be true, that he be

       dead, then will we believe that the other words which he has

       spoken are true.

      Helaman 9:3

       3 And it came to pass that they ran in their might, and came in

       unto the judgment-seat; and behold, the chief judge had fallen to

       the earth, and did lie in his blood.

      Helaman 9:4

       4 And now behold, when they saw this they were astonished

       exceedingly, insomuch that they fell to the earth; for they had

       not believed the words which Nephi had spoken concerning the

       chief judge.

      Helaman 9:5

       5 But now, when they saw they believed, and fear came upon them

       lest all the judgments which Nephi had spoken should come upon

       the people; therefore they did quake, and had fallen to the

       earth.

      Helaman 9:6

       6 Now, immediately when the judge had been murdered—he being

       stabbed by his brother by a garb of secrecy, and he fled, and the

       servants ran and told the people, raising the cry of murder among

       them;

      Helaman 9:7

       7 And behold the people did gather themselves together unto the

       place of the judgment-seat—and behold, to their astonishment

       they saw those five men who had fallen to the earth.

      Helaman 9:8

       8 And now behold, the people knew nothing concerning the

       multitude who had gathered together at the garden of Nephi;

       therefore they said among themselves: These men are they who have

       murdered the judge, and God has smitten them that they could not

       flee from us.

      Helaman 9:9

       9 And it came to pass that they laid hold on them, and bound

       them and cast them into prison. And there was a proclamation

       sent abroad that the judge was slain, and that the murderers had

       been taken and were cast into prison.

      Helaman 9:10

       10 And it came to pass that on the morrow the people did

       assemble themselves together to mourn and to fast, at the burial

       of the great chief judge who had been slain.

      Helaman 9:11

       11 And thus also those judges who were at the garden of Nephi,

       and heard his words, were also gathered together at the burial.

      Helaman 9:12

       12 And it came to pass that they inquired among the people,

       saying: Where are the five who were sent to inquire concerning

       the chief judge whether he was dead? And they answered and said:

       Concerning this five whom ye say ye have sent, we know not; but

       there are five who are the murderers, whom we have cast into

       prison.

      Helaman 9:13

       13 And it came to pass that the judges desired that they should

       be brought; and they were brought, and behold they were the five

       who were sent; and behold the judges inquired of them to know,

       concerning the matter, and they told them all that they had done,

       saying:

      Helaman 9:14

       14 We ran and came to the place of the judgment-seat, and when

       we saw all things even as Nephi had testified, we were astonished

       insomuch that we fell to the earth; and when we were recovered

       from our astonishment, behold they cast us into prison.

      Helaman 9:15

       15 Now, as for the murder
