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.

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.

and they watered their flocks and returned them to the pasture of the king,

of those who sought to slay him;

and they were carried in unto the king

for a testimony of the things which they had done.

Behold, is not this the Great Spirit

who doth send such great punishments upon this people,

because of their murders?

Now, one of them, whose brother had been slain with the sword of Ammon,

drew his sword and went forth

that he might let it fall upon Ammon, to slay him;

behold, he fell dead.

And it came to pass that when the multitude beheld

that the man had fallen dead, who lifted the sword to slay Ammon,

and they began to marvel again among themselves

what could be the cause of this great power,

or what all these things could mean.

But Ammon withstood his blows,

and also smote his arm that he could not use it.
