Alma 22:3

And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants.

And the king said unto them:

Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives,

and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants;

but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me;

for I have been somewhat troubled in mind

because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon;

and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee.

Alma 22:19

And it came to pass that his servants ran and told the queen

all that had happened unto the king.

And she came in unto the king;

and when she saw him lay as if he were dead,

and also Aaron and his brethren standing

as though they had been the cause of his fall,

she was angry with them,

and commanded that her servants, or the servants of the king,

should take them and slay them.

Alma 22:20

Now the servants had seen the cause of the king's fall,

therefore they durst not lay their hands on Aaron and his brethren;

and they pled with the queen saying:

Why commandest thou that we should slay these men,

when behold one of them is mightier than us all?

Therefore we shall fall before them.
