Alma, on account of increasing iniquity, resigns the 83 518 9 Chief-Judgeship, and nominates Nephihah as his successor, who is accepted by the voice of the people. Alma devotes himself entirely to the work of the ministry. He sets in order the churches in Zarahemla and Gideon. Alma, as presiding High Priest, visits and ministers to the people in Melek and Ammonihah. Amulek visited by an angel; he receives Alma into his house. They preach to the people of Ammonihah; are imprisoned and abused. Zeezrom, the lawyer, converted, afterwards healed of a fever and baptized. Those who accept the Gospel are cast out of Ammonihah, whilst others, men, women and children, are martyred by fire. Alma and Amulek delivered, by the power of God, from prison. The prison is destroyed, and with it their persecutors. Massacre of 1005 believing Lamanites. 82 519 10 The Lamanites, as foretold by Alma, destroy Ammonihah, 81 520 11 with all its people, but are afterwards disastrously defeated by Zoram. The church greatly increases during this and two following 80 521 12 years. †Second massacre of the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi. 79 522 13 †The people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi arrive in the land of 78 523 14 Zarahemla. The people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi established in the land of Jershon. The Lamanites pursue the Ammonites; are defeated by 77 524 15 the Nephites with great slaughter. Korihor, the Anti-Christ, struck dumb, and afterwards killed in a city of the Zoramites. Alma, and others, proceed to Antionum and minister 75 526 17 amongst the Zoramite dissenters; the majority reject their words, and afterwards cast out their believing brethren. The latter flee to the land of Jershon, whilst the unrepentant ally themselves with the Lamanites and prepare for war. The Ammonites remove to Melek. The Zoramites become Lamanites; the united armies occupy Antionum and attempt to invade Manti. They are defeated by Moroni and Lehi near the hill Riplah. The Lamanites make a covenant of peace and return to their own lands. The record of Alma closes. 74 527 18 Alma transfers the records to his son Helaman, leaves Zarahemla, as if to go to Melek, and is never heard of more.
