and they fasted much and prayed much

that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit

to go with them, and abide with them,

to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites,

for he knew that king Lamoni was under the power of God;

he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was being cast away from his mind,

which was the light of the glory of God,

which was a marvelous light of his goodness —

yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul,

the cloud of darkness having been dispelled,

and that the light of everlasting life was lit up in his soul,

yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame,

and he was carried away in God —

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.
