HELEM. A brother of Ammon, the leader of the party that went from Zarahemla to Lehi-Nephi to discover the people of Zeniff (B. C. 122). Helem accompanied his brethren on this expedition, and was one cf the four cast into prison by king Limhi, under the supposition that they were some of the priests of his father, Noah, who had carried off the daughters of the Lamanites. Helem is only mentioned by name in connection with this incident; but it is evident that if he was a brother of Ammon, according to the flesh, he was a descendant of Zarahemla, and doubtless was born in the land of that name and returned to it with the rest of the party when they led the people of Limhi out of the land of Lehi-Nephi.
