Alma 17:35

Therefore they did not fear Ammon,

for they supposed that one of their men could slay him

according to their pleasure,

for they knew not that the Lord had promised Mosiah

that he would deliver his sons out of their hands;

neither did they know anything concerning the Lord;

therefore they delighted in the destruction of their brethren;

and for this cause they stood to scatter the flocks of the king.

Alma 17:36

But Ammon stood forth and began to cast stones at them with his sling;

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 it came to pass that when the multitude beheld

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

fear came upon them all,

and they durst not put forth their hands to touch him

or any of those who had fallen;

and they began to marvel again among themselves

what could be the cause of this great power,

or what all these things could mean.

Alma 20:17

But Ammon stood forth and said unto him:

Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son;

for behold, he has repented of his sins;

but if thou shouldst fall at this time, in thine anger,

thy soul could not be saved.
