Alma 17:4

And they had been teaching the word of God

for the space of fourteen years among the Lamanites,

having had much success in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth;

yea, by the power of their words many were brought before the altar of God,

to call on his name and confess their sins before him.

Alma 17:26

And after he had been in the service of the king three days,

as he was with the Lamanitish servants

going forth with their flocks to the place of water,

which was called the water of Sebus,

and all the Lamanites drive their flocks hither, that they may have water —

Alma 17:27

Therefore, as Ammon and the servants of the king

were driving forth their flocks to this place of water,

behold, a certain number of the Lamanites,

who had been with their flocks to water,

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, he is feeding thy horses.

Now the king had commanded his servants,

previous to the time of the watering of their flocks,

that they should prepare his horses and chariots,

and conduct him forth to the land of Nephi;

for there had been a great feast appointed at the land of Nephi,

by the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.

Alma 18:10

Now when king Lamoni heard

that Ammon was preparing his horses and his chariots

Surely there has not been any servant among all my servants

that has been so faithful as this man;

for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them.

Alma 18:36

Now when Ammon had said these words,

he began at the creation of the world,

and also the creation of Adam,

and told him all the things concerning the fall of man,

and rehearsed and laid before him

the records and the holy scriptures of the people,

which had been spoken by the prophets,

even down to the time that their father, Lehi, left Jerusalem.

Alma 19:5

Therefore, if this is the case,

I would that ye should go in and see my husband,

for he has been laid upon his bed for the space of two days and two nights;

and some say that he is not dead,

but others say that he is dead and that he stinketh,

and that he ought to be placed in the sepulchre;

but as for myself, to me he doth not stink.

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 —

Blessed art thou because of thy exceeding faith;

I say unto thee, woman,

there has not been such great faith among all the people of the Nephites.

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 19:16

And it came to pass that they did call on the name of the Lord, in their might,

even until they had all fallen to the earth,

save it were one of the Lamanitish women, whose name was Abish,

she having been converted unto the Lord for many years,

on account of a remarkable vision of her father —

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 19:22

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

being exceedingly angry with Ammon,

drew his sword and went forth

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

and as he lifted the sword to smite him,

behold, he fell dead.

saying that he was a monster,

who had been sent from the Nephites to torment them.

that their hearts had been changed;

that they had no more desire to do evil.

And I will also grant unto thee that thy brethren may be cast out of prison,

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

for I shall greatly desire to see thee.

For the king was greatly astonished at the words which he had spoken,

and also at the words which had been spoken by his son Lamoni,

therefore he was desirous to learn them.
