Alma 14:2

But the more part of them were desirous

that they might destroy Alma and Amulek;

for they were angry with Alma,

because of the plainness of his words unto Zeezrom;

and they also said that Amulek had lied unto them,

and had reviled against their law and also against their lawyers and judges.

Alma 14:5

And the people went forth and witnessed against them —

testifying that they had reviled against the law,

and their lawyers and judges of the land,

and also of all the people that were in the land;

and also testified that there was but one God,

and that he should send his Son among the people,

but he should not save them;

and many such things did the people testify against Alma and Amulek.

Now this was done before the chief judge of the land.

And when they had been cast into prison three days,

there came many lawyers, and judges, and priests, and teachers,

who were of the profession of Nehor;

and they came in unto the prison to see them,

and they questioned them about many words;

but they answered them nothing.

And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days,

(and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi)

that the chief judge over the land of Ammonihah

and many of their teachers and their lawyers went in unto the prison

where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.

And it came to pass that so great was their fear

that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison;

and the earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain,

so that they fell to the earth;

and the chief judge, and the lawyers, and priests, and teachers,

who smote upon Alma and Amulek,

were slain by the fall thereof.
