Alma 53:10

And now behold, I have somewhat to say concerning the people of Ammon,

who, in the beginning, were Lamanites;

but by Ammon and his brethren,

or rather by the power and word of God,

they had been converted unto the Lord;

and they had been brought down into the land of Zarahemla,

and had ever since been protected by the Nephites.

Alma 53:11

And because of their oath

they had been kept from taking up arms against their brethren;

for they had taken an oath that they never would shed blood more;

and according to their oath they would have perished;

yea, they would have suffered themselves

to have fallen into the hands of their brethren,

had it not been for the pity and the exceeding love

which Ammon and his brethren had had for them.

Alma 53:21

Yea, they were men of truth and soberness,

for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God

and to walk uprightly before him.
