Alma 17:6

Now these were their journeyings:

Having taken leave of their father, Mosiah,

in the first year of the judges;

having refused the kingdom which their father was desirous to confer upon them,

and also this was the minds of the people;

Alma 17:13

And it came to pass

when they had arrived in the borders of the land of the Lamanites,

that they separated themselves and departed one from another,

trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest;

for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken.

Alma 17:16

Therefore, this was the cause

for which the sons of Mosiah had undertaken the work,

that perhaps they might bring them unto repentance;

that perhaps they might bring them to know of the plan of redemption.

Alma 18:5

Now this was the tradition of Lamoni, which he had received from his father,

that there was a Great Spirit.

Notwithstanding they believed in a Great Spirit

they supposed that whatsoever they did was right;

Alma 18:7

Now it was the practice of these Lamanites

to stand by the waters of Sebus to scatter the flocks of the people,

it being a practice of plunder among them.

Alma 19:6

Now, this was what Ammon desired,

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,

and the light which did light up 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 —

Alma 19:17

Thus, having been converted to the Lord,

and never having made it known,

therefore, when she saw

that all the servants of Lamoni had fallen to the earth,

and also her mistress, the queen, and the king,

and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth,

she knew that it was the power of God;

and supposing that this opportunity,

by making known unto the people what had happened among them,

that by beholding this scene

it would cause them to believe in the power of God,

therefore she ran forth from house to house, making it known unto the people.

Alma 19:25

And it came to pass that there were many among them

who said that Ammon was the Great Spirit,

and others said he was sent by the Great Spirit;

Alma 19:27

And there were some who said

that Ammon was sent by the Great Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities;

and that it was the Great Spirit that had always attended the Nephites,

who had ever delivered them out of their hands;

and they said that it was this Great Spirit

who had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites.
