Alma 17:14
And assuredly it was great,
for they had undertaken to preach the word of God
to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people;
a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites,
and robbing and plundering them;
and their hearts were set upon riches,
or upon gold and silver, and precious stones;
yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering,
that they might not labor for them with their own hands.
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;

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.

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.

that Ammon was sent by the Great Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities;

who had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites.

and now his children are also come amongst us
that they may, by their cunning and their lyings, deceive us,
that they again may rob us of our property.
