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,

or to cast them out of his land,

according to his will and pleasure.

behold, I have seen my Redeemer;

and he shall come forth, and be born of a woman,

according to his prayers

upon the Lamanites, his brethren,

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;

on account of a remarkable vision of her father —

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.

and behold, he was a Nephite.

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

what could be the cause of this great power,

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

that they again may rob us of our property.

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 —
