Alma 45:18

And when Alma had done this he departed out of the land of Zarahemla,

as if to go into the land of Melek.

And it came to pass that he was never heard of more;

as to his death or burial we know not of.

Alma 45:19

Behold, this we know, that he was a righteous man;

and the saying went abroad in the church

that he was taken up by the Spirit,

or buried by the hand of the Lord, even as Moses.

But behold, the scriptures saith the Lord took Moses unto himself;

and we suppose that he has also received Alma in the spirit, unto himself;

therefore, for this cause we know nothing concerning his death and burial.

Alma 46:24

Yea, let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph;

yea, let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death,

for behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph

was preserved and had not decayed.

And he said —

Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved,

so shall a remnant of the seed of my son

be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself,

while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish,

even as the remnant of his garment.

Alma 46:30

Now Moroni thought it was not expedient

that the Lamanites should have any more strength;

therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah,

or to take them and bring them back,

and put Amalickiah to death;

yea, for he knew that he would stir up the Lamanites to anger against them,

and cause them to come to battle against them;

and this he knew that Amalickiah would do

that he might obtain his purposes.

Alma 46:35

And it came to pass that whomsoever of the Amalickiahites

that would not enter into a covenant to support the cause of freedom,

that they might maintain a free government,

he caused to be put to death;

and there were but few who denied the covenant of freedom.

Alma 47:33

Therefore, when the queen had received this message

she sent unto Amalickiah,

desiring him that he would spare the people of the city;

and she also desired him that he should come in unto her;

and she also desired him that he should bring witnesses with him

to testify concerning the death of the king.

Alma 47:34

And it came to pass that

Amalickiah took the same servant that slew the king,

and all them who were with him,

and went in unto the queen, unto the place where she sat;

and they all testified unto her that the king was slain by his own servants;

and they said also:

They have fled;

does not this testify against them?

And thus they satisfied the queen concerning the death of the king.
