At the end of this battle, Helaman sends the captured Lamanites to Zarahemla. He and the remainder of Antipus’ army return to Judea. Since they had left that city to pursue this combat, its defenses had been somewhat compromised, and it was important to strengthen them.
Textual: There is no chapter break at this point in the 1830 text. The reason is that Helaman’s letter is continued in the next chapter, and Mormon treats that entire epistle as a chapter.
