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 23:2

Yea, he sent a decree among them,

that they should not lay their hands on them

to bind them, or to cast them into prison;

neither should they spit upon them, nor smite them,

nor cast them out of their synagogues, nor scourge them;

neither should they cast stones at them,

but that they should have free access to their houses,

and also their temples, and their sanctuaries.

Alma 23:6

And as sure as the Lord liveth,

so sure as many as believed,

or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth,

through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren,

according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy,

and the power of God working miracles in them —

yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth,

as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching,

and were converted unto the Lord,

never did fall away.

Alma 24:15

Oh, how merciful is our God!

And now behold, since it has been as much as we could do

to get our stains taken away from us, and our swords are made bright,

let us hide them away that they may be kept bright,

as a testimony to our God at the last day,

or at the day that we shall be brought to stand before him to be judged,

that we have not stained our swords in the blood of our brethren

since he imparted his word unto us and has made us clean thereby.

Alma 24:19

And thus we see that,

when these Lamanites were brought to believe and to know the truth,

they were firm, and would suffer even unto death rather than commit sin;

and thus we see that they buried their weapons of peace,

or they buried the weapons of war, for peace.

Alma 24:23

Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword,

neither would they turn aside to the right hand or to the left,

but that they would lie down and perish,

and praised God even in the very act of perishing under the sword —

Alma 24:29

Now, among those who joined the people of the Lord,

there were none who were Amalekites or Amulonites,

or who were of the order of Nehor,

but they were actual descendants of Laman and Lemuel.
