In the previous engagement involving the young Ammonite soldiers, when they returned to aid Antipus’s army, there were no significant injuries noted. This engagement, however, was more brutal, and there were more who were seriously wounded, with two hundred of the young men having fainted due to loss of blood. Nevertheless, none had been killed. Helaman accounted their preservation to their faithfulness, as he had before. These young men become, for Helaman, the living verification of the Lord’s covenant of the land. The righteous would be preserved. These young men were righteous. They were preserved.
