Alma 20:17

But Ammon stood forth and said unto him:

Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son;

nevertheless, it were better that he should fall than thee,

for behold, he has repented of his sins;

but if thou shouldst fall at this time, in thine anger,

thy soul could not be saved.

Alma 20:18

And again, it is expedient that thou shouldst forbear;

for if thou shouldst slay thy son, he being an innocent man,

his blood would cry from the ground to the Lord his God,

for vengeance to come upon thee;

and perhaps thou wouldst lose thy soul.

Alma 20:19

Now when Ammon had said these words unto him,

he answered him, saying:

I know that if I should slay my son, that I should shed innocent blood;

for it is thou that hast sought to destroy him.

Alma 20:26

And when he saw that Ammon had no desire to destroy him,

and when he also saw the great love he had for his son Lamoni,

he was astonished exceedingly, and said:

Because this is all that thou hast desired,

that I would release thy brethren,

and suffer that my son Lamoni should retain his kingdom,

behold, I will grant unto you

that my son may retain his kingdom from this time and forever;

and I will govern him no more —

Alma 20:27

And I will also grant unto thee that thy brethren may be cast out of prison,

and thou and thy brethren may come unto me, in my kingdom;

for I shall greatly desire to see thee.

For the king was greatly astonished at the words which he had spoken,

and also at the words which had been spoken by his son Lamoni,

therefore he was desirous to learn them.
