Shiblon and later Helaman take possession of the sacred records—Many Nephites travel to the land northward—Hagoth builds ships, which sail forth in the west sea—Moronihah defeats the Lamanites in battle. About 56–52 B.C.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
commencement
of
the
thirty
and
sixth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
over
the
people
of
Nephi,
that
a
Shiblon
took
possession
of
those
b
sacred
things
which
had
been
delivered
unto
Helaman
by
Alma.
2 And
he
was
a
just
man,
and
he
did
walk
uprightly
before
God;
and
he
did
observe
to
do
good
continually,
to
keep
the
commandments
of
the
Lord
his
God;
and
also
did
his
brother.
3 And
it
came
to
pass
that
a
Moroni
died
also.
And
thus
ended
the
thirty
and
sixth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
that
in
the
thirty
and
seventh
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges,
there
was
a
large
company
of
men,
even
to
the
amount
of
five
thousand
and
four
hundred
men,
with
their
wives
and
their
children,
departed
out
of
the
land
of
Zarahemla
into
the
land
which
was
a
northward.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Hagoth,
he
being
an
a
exceedingly
curious
man,
therefore
he
went
forth
and
built
him
an
exceedingly
large
ship,
on
the
borders
of
the
land
b
Bountiful,
by
the
land
Desolation,
and
launched
it
forth
into
the
west
sea,
by
the
c
narrow
neck
which
led
into
the
land
northward.
6 And
behold,
there
were
many
of
the
Nephites
who
did
enter
therein
and
did
sail
forth
with
much
provisions,
and
also
many
women
and
children;
and
they
took
their
course
northward.
And
thus
ended
the
thirty
and
seventh
year.
7 And
in
the
thirty
and
eighth
year,
this
man
built
a
other
ships.
And
the
first
ship
did
also
return,
and
many
more
people
did
enter
into
it;
and
they
also
took
much
provisions,
and
set
out
again
to
the
land
northward.
8 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
were
never
heard
of
more.
And
we
suppose
that
they
were
drowned
in
the
depths
of
the
sea.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
one
other
ship
also
did
sail
forth;
and
whither
she
did
go
we
know
not.
9 And
it
came
to
pass
that
in
this
year
there
were
many
people
who
went
forth
into
the
land
a
northward.
And
thus
ended
the
thirty
and
eighth
year.
10 And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
thirty
and
ninth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges,
a
Shiblon
died
also,
and
Corianton
had
gone
forth
to
the
land
northward
in
a
ship,
to
carry
forth
provisions
unto
the
people
who
had
gone
forth
into
that
land.
11 Therefore
it
became
expedient
for
a
Shiblon
to
confer
those
sacred
things,
before
his
death,
upon
the
son
of
b
Helaman,
who
was
called
c
Helaman,
being
called
after
the
name
of
his
father.
12 Now
behold,
all
those
a
engravings
which
were
in
the
possession
of
Helaman
were
written
and
sent
forth
among
the
children
of
men
throughout
all
the
land,
save
it
were
those
parts
which
had
been
commanded
by
Alma
should
b
not
go
forth.
13 Nevertheless,
these
things
were
to
be
kept
sacred,
and
a
handed
down
from
one
generation
to
another;
therefore,
in
this
year,
they
had
been
conferred
upon
Helaman,
before
the
death
of
Shiblon.
14 And
it
came
to
pass
also
in
this
year
that
there
were
some
dissenters
who
had
gone
forth
unto
the
Lamanites;
and
they
were
a
stirred
up
again
to
anger
against
the
Nephites.
15 And
also
in
this
same
year
they
came
down
with
a
numerous
army
to
war
against
the
people
of
a
Moronihah,
or
against
the
army
of
Moronihah,
in
the
which
they
were
beaten
and
driven
back
again
to
their
own
lands,
suffering
great
loss.
16 And
thus
ended
the
thirty
and
ninth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
over
the
people
of
Nephi.
17 And
thus
ended
the
account
of
a
Alma,
and
Helaman
his
son,
and
also
Shiblon,
who
was
his
son.
