and they fasted much and prayed much

that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit

to go with them, and abide with them,

And they answered the king, and said:

Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not;

but this much we do know,

that he cannot be slain by the enemies of the king;

neither can they scatter the king's flocks when he is with us,

because of his expertness and great strength;

therefore, we know that he is a friend to the king.

And now, O king, we do not believe that a man has such great power,

for we know he cannot be slain.

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.
