18:32 And Ammon said: Yea, and he looketh down upon all the children of
men; and he knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart; for by his
hand were they all created from the beginning.
18:33 And king Lamoni said: I believe all these things which thou hast
spoken. Art thou sent from God?
18:34 Ammon said unto him: I am a man; and man in the beginning was
created after the image of God, and I am called by his Holy Spirit to
teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a
knowledge of that which is just and true;
18:35 And a portion of that Spirit dwelleth in me, which giveth me
knowledge, and also power according to my faith and desires which are
in God.
18:36 Now when Ammon had said these words, he began at the creation of
the world, and also the creation of Adam, and told him all the things
concerning the fall of man, and rehearsed and laid before him the
records and the holy scriptures of the people, which had been spoken by
the prophets, even down to the time that their father, Lehi, left
Jerusalem.
18:37 And he also rehearsed unto them (for it was unto the king and to
his servants) all the journeyings of their fathers in the wilderness,
and all their sufferings with hunger and thirst, and their travail, and
so forth.
18:38 And he also rehearsed unto them concerning the rebellions of
Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael, yea, all their rebellions
did he relate unto them; and he expounded unto them all the records and
scriptures from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem down to the present
time.
18:39 But this is not all; for he expounded unto them the plan of
redemption, which was prepared from the foundation of the world; and he
also made known unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and all the
works of the Lord did he make known unto them.
18:40 And it came to pass that after he had said all these things, and
expounded them to the king, that the king believed all his words.
18:41 And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, have mercy;
according to thy abundant mercy which thou hast had upon the people of
Nephi, have upon me, and my people.
18:42 And now, when he had said this, he fell unto the earth, as if he
were dead.
18:43 And it came to pass that his servants took him and carried him in
unto his wife, and laid him upon a bed; and he lay as if he were dead
for the space of two days and two nights; and his wife, and his sons,
and his daughters mourned over him, after the manner of the Lamanites,
greatly lamenting his loss.
Alma Chapter 19
19:1 And it came to pass that after two days and two nights they were
about to take his body and lay it in a sepulchre, which they had made
for the purpose of burying their dead.
19:2 Now the queen having heard of the fame of Ammon, therefore she
sent and desired that he should come in unto her.
19:3 And it came to pass that Ammon did as he was commanded, and went
in unto the queen, and desired to know what she would that he should
do.
