Alma 20:1

And it came to pass that when they had established a church in that land,

that king Lamoni desired that Ammon should go with him to the land of Nephi,

that he might show him unto his father.

Alma 20:2

And the voice of the Lord came to Ammon, saying:

Thou shalt not go up to the land of Nephi,

for behold, the king will seek thy life;

but thou shalt go to the land of Middoni;

for behold, thy brother Aaron, and also Muloki and Ammah are in prison.

Alma 20:3

Now it came to pass that when Ammon had heard this,

he said unto Lamoni:

Behold, my brother and brethren are in prison at Middoni,

and I go that I may deliver them.

Alma 20:4

Now Lamoni said unto Ammon:

I know, in the strength of the Lord thou canst do all things.

But behold, I will go with thee to the land of Middoni;

for the king of the land of Middoni, whose name is Antiomno, is a friend unto me;

therefore I go to the land of Middoni,

that I may flatter the king of the land, and he will cast thy brethren out of prison.

Now Lamoni said unto him:

Who told thee that thy brethren were in prison?

Alma 20:5

And Ammon said unto him:

No one hath told me, save it be God;

and he said unto me —

Go and deliver thy brethren, for they are in prison in the land of Middoni.

Alma 20:6

Now when Lamoni had heard this

he caused that his servants should make ready his horses and his chariots.

Alma 20:7

And he said unto Ammon:

Come, I will go with thee down to the land of Middoni,

and there I will plead with the king that he will cast thy brethren out of prison.
