19:4 And she said unto him: The servants of my husband have made it
known unto me that thou art a prophet of a holy God, and that thou hast
power to do many mighty works in his name;
19:5 Therefore, if this is the case, I would that ye should go in and
see my husband, for he has been laid upon his bed for the space of two
days and two nights; and some say that he is not dead, but others say
that he is dead and that he stinketh, and that he ought to be placed in
the sepulchre; but as for myself, to me he doth not stink.
19:6 Now, this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that king Lamoni was
under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was
being cast away from his mind, and the light which did light up his
mind, which was the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous
light of his goodness—yea, this light had infused such joy into his
soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light
of everlasting life was lit up in his soul, yea, he knew that this had
overcome his natural frame, and he was carried away in God—
19:7 Therefore, what the queen desired of him was his only desire.
Therefore, he went in to see the king according as the queen had
desired him; and he saw the king, and he knew that he was not dead.
19:8 And he said unto the queen: He is not dead, but he sleepeth in
God, and on the morrow he shall rise again; therefore bury him not.
19:9 And Ammon said unto her: Believest thou this? And she said unto
him: I have had no witness save thy word, and the word of our servants;
nevertheless I believe that it shall be according as thou hast said.
19:10 And Ammon said unto her: Blessed art thou because of thy
exceeding faith; I say unto thee, woman, there has not been such great
faith among all the people of the Nephites.
19:11 And it came to pass that she watched over the bed of her husband,
from that time even until that time on the morrow which Ammon had
appointed that he should rise.
19:12 And it came to pass that he arose, according to the words of
Ammon; and as he arose, he stretched forth his hand unto the woman, and
said: Blessed be the name of God, and blessed art thou.
19:13 For as sure as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and
he shall come forth, and be born of a woman, and he shall redeem all
mankind who believe on his name. Now, when he had said these words, his
heart was swollen within him, and he sunk again with joy; and the queen
also sunk down, being overpowered by the Spirit.
19:14 Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to
his prayers upon the Lamanites, his brethren, who had been the cause of
so much mourning among the Nephites, or among all the people of God
because of their iniquities and their traditions, he fell upon his
knees, and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God
for what he had done for his brethren; and he was also overpowered with
joy; and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.
