Alma 17:14
And assuredly it was great,
for they had undertaken to preach the word of God
to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people;
a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites,
and robbing and plundering them;
and their hearts were set upon riches,
or upon gold and silver, and precious stones;
yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering,
that they might not labor for them with their own hands.
Alma 17:18
Now Ammon being the chief among them,
or rather he did administer unto them,
and he departed from them,
after having blessed them according to their several stations,
having imparted the word of God unto them,
or administered unto them before his departure;
and thus they took their several journeys throughout the land.
Alma 17:20
And as Ammon entered the land of Ishmael,
the Lamanites took him and bound him,
as was their custom to bind all the Nephites who fell into their hands,
and carry them before the king;
and thus it was left to the pleasure of the king to slay them,
or to retain them in captivity,
or to cast them into prison,
or to cast them out of his land,
according to his will and pleasure.

among the Lamanites, or among his people.

Now when Ammon saw this his heart was swollen within him with joy;
for, said he, I will show forth my power unto these my fellow-servants,
or the power which is in me,
in restoring these flocks unto the king,
that I may win the hearts of these my fellow-servants,
that I may lead them to believe in my words.
Alma 18:3
And they answered the king, and said:
Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not;
but this much we do know,
that he cannot be slain by the enemies of the king;
neither can they scatter the king's flocks when he is with us,
because of his expertness and great strength;
therefore, we know that he is a friend to the king.
And now, O king, we do not believe that a man has such great power,
for we know he cannot be slain.
Alma 18:13

Rabbanah, which is, being interpreted, powerful or great king,
considering their kings to be powerful;
and thus he said unto him:
Rabbanah, the king desireth thee to stay.
Alma 19:14
Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out
according to his prayers
upon the Lamanites, his brethren,
who had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites,
or among all the people of God
because of their iniquities and their traditions,
he fell upon his knees,
and began to pour out his soul
in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what he had done for his brethren;
and he was also overpowered with joy;
and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.
Alma 19:19

And it came to pass that when the multitude beheld
that the man had fallen dead, who lifted the sword to slay Ammon,
fear came upon them all,
and they durst not put forth their hands to touch him
or any of those who had fallen;
and they began to marvel again among themselves
what could be the cause of this great power,
or what all these things could mean.
