Is it because thou hast heard

and smote off the arms of others,

in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants;

behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?

I will grant it unto thee.

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

and now his children are also come amongst us

that they may, by their cunning and their lyings, deceive us,

that they again may rob us of our property.

Alma 20:17

Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son;

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.

If thou wilt grant that my brethren may be cast out of prison,

and also that Lamoni may retain his kingdom,

but grant that he may do according to his own desires

in whatsoever thing he thinketh,

then will I spare thee;

otherwise I will smite thee to the earth.

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

therefore he was desirous to learn them.
