Alma 17:35
Therefore they did not fear Ammon,
for they supposed that one of their men could slay him
according to their pleasure,
for they knew not that the Lord had promised Mosiah
that he would deliver his sons out of their hands;
neither did they know anything concerning the Lord;
therefore they delighted in the destruction of their brethren;
and for this cause they stood to scatter the flocks of the king.
Alma 17:36
But Ammon stood forth and began to cast stones at them with his sling;
yea, with mighty power he did sling stones amongst them;
and thus he slew a certain number of them
insomuch that they began to be astonished at his power;
nevertheless they were angry because of the slain of their brethren,
and they were determined that he should fall;
therefore, seeing that they could not hit him with their stones,
they came forth with clubs to slay him.
Alma 18:16
And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God,
therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king.
And he said unto him:
Is it because thou hast heard
that I defended thy servants and thy flocks,
and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword,
and smote off the arms of others,
in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants;
behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
Alma 19:21
And they were also rebuked by those men
who had stood at the waters of Sebus and scattered the flocks
which belonged to the king,
for they were angry with Ammon because of the number
which he had slain of their brethren at the waters of Sebus,
while defending the flocks of the king.
Alma 19:27
And there were some who said
that Ammon was sent by the Great Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities;
and that it was the Great Spirit that had always attended the Nephites,
who had ever delivered them out of their hands;
and they said that it was this Great Spirit
who had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites.
