Helaman
|
Helaman (BoM Arabic حيلامان Ḥīlāmān) was a prophet who lived in the Americas around the 1st century BC according to the Book of Mormon. His father was Alma the Younger. He is perhaps best known for commanding an elite band of young Anti-Nephi-Lehies often referred to as the two thousand stripling warriors.
Helaman's son was also named Helaman, and had at least two sons: Nephi (not to be confused with other Nephi's in the Book of Mormon) and Lehi (not to be confused with other Lehi's in the Book of Mormon).
There is a third Helaman in the Book of Mormon, the son of King Benjamin, and brother of Mosiah II, mentioned once in the entire book.
