MOSIAH 11:39 [23:35]: And Amulon and his brethren did join the Lamanites, and they were traveling in the wilderness in search of the land of Nephi, when they discovered the land of Helam, which was possessed by Alma and his brethren.
Commentary: This verse references the places of Amulon, Helam, Nephi, and the wilderness between Amulon and Helam. The army of the Lamanites found the land of Helam on their return trip from the land of Amulon to the land of Nephi. So, the land of Amulon is in proximity to the land of Nephi and the land of Helam, but not too near. The land of Helam is between the land of Amulon and the land of Nephi. Since Amulon, acting as a guide, is directing the return trip from the land of Amulon to the land of Nephi, the land of Helam lies on a fairly direct route from the land of Amulon and the land of Nephi. There is wilderness between the land of Amulon and the land of Helam.
