Now we go back to what is going on in Moroni's side of the battle which include him trying to send help to Helaman and him getting angry at the government. Also on the war side of the spectrum is the Lamanites taking the city of Nephihah.
Moroni was so excited to hear about the great successes of Helaman and started telling everyone so they knew how great things were going, probably in an attempt to keep moral up and such (v1-2). Then he asks Pahoran, who is the chief judge, to gather men to help Helaman maintain what he so skillfully reconquered while getting ready to finish taking back cities in his part of the land (v3-4). While he was preparing though, Nephihah is attacked and overcome by those same Lamanites that had fled from Manti, and they caused the army that had been there to flee to Moroni's army (v5-8).
Moroni knew that it is easier to keep a city from being conquered than it is to retake it from the Lamanites but Nephihah was lost and that made him sad and in a bad mood (v9-11). It was definitely not a good time to mess with him, which is why he got angry at the government for not caring about the liberty of the people enough to send some help (v12-13). Its unfortunate that the captains could already start to see the wickedness among the Nephites and start to doubt their ability to fight against their enemies.
