Alma 17:20

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.

Alma 19:14

Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out

according to his prayers

upon the Lamanites, his brethren,

who had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites,

or among all the people of God

because of their iniquities and their traditions,

he fell upon his knees,

and began to pour out his soul

in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what he had done for his brethren;

and he was also overpowered with joy;

and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.

Alma 20:24

Now when Ammon saw that he had wrought upon the old king according to his desire,

he said unto him:

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

and also that Lamoni may retain his kingdom,

and that ye be not displeased with him,

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.
