In the Book of Mormon, sons of converted Lamanites known as Ammonites who became warriors under Helaman’s charge (Alma 53: 16-22).

Helaman considered them worthy to be called his sons, Alma 56: 10. Their mothers had taught them not to doubt the Lord’s ability to deliver them, Alma 56: 47. They defeated the Lamanites and were preserved by their faith such that none were slain, Alma 56: 52-54, 56; 57: 26.
