Alma 47:35

And it came to pass that

Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and took her unto him to wife;

and thus by his fraud, and by the assistance of his cunning servants,

he obtained the kingdom;

yea, he was acknowledged king throughout all the land,

among all the people of the Lamanites,

who were composed of the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites,

and all the dissenters of the Nephites,

from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.

Alma 47:36

Now these dissenters,

having the same instruction and the same information of the Nephites,

yea, having been instructed in the same knowledge of the Lord,

nevertheless, it is strange to relate,

not long after their dissensions

they became more hardened and impenitent,

and more wild, wicked and ferocious than the Lamanites —

drinking in with the traditions of the Lamanites;

giving way to indolence, and all manner of lasciviousness;

yea, entirely forgetting the Lord their God.
