Alma 23:1

Behold, now it came to pass that

the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people,

that they should not lay their hands on Ammon, or Aaron, or Omner, or Himni,

nor either of their brethren who should go forth preaching the word of God,

in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.

Alma 23:7

For they became a righteous people;

they did lay down the weapons of their rebellion,

that they did not fight against God any more,

neither against any of their brethren.

Alma 24:18

And this they did,

it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men,

that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood;

and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that

rather than shed the blood of their brethren

they would give up their own lives;

and rather than take away from a brother

they would give unto him;

and rather than spend their days in idleness

they would labor abundantly with their hands.

Alma 24:24

Now when the Lamanites saw this

they did forbear from slaying them;

and there were many whose hearts had swollen in them

for those of their brethren who had fallen under the sword,

for they repented of the things which they had done.

Alma 24:28

Now the greatest number of those of the Lamanites

who slew so many of their brethren were Amalekites and Amulonites,

the greatest number of whom were after the order of the Nehors.

Alma 25:8

Now this martyrdom caused

that many of their brethren should be stirred up to anger;

and there began to be contention in the wilderness;

and the Lamanites began to hunt the seed of Amulon and his brethren

and began to slay them;

and they fled into the east wilderness.
