19:15 Now, when the servants of the king had seen that they had fallen,
they also began to cry unto God, for the fear of the Lord had come upon
them also, for it was they who had stood before the king and testified
unto him concerning the great power of Ammon.
19:16 And it came to pass that they did call on the name of the Lord,
in their might, even until they had all fallen to the earth, save it
were one of the Lamanitish women, whose name was Abish, she having been
converted unto the Lord for many years, on account of a remarkable
vision of her father—
19:17 Thus, having been converted to the Lord, and never having made it
known, therefore, when she saw that all the servants of Lamoni had
fallen to the earth, and also her mistress, the queen, and the king,
and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth, she knew that it was the power
of God; and supposing that this opportunity, by making known unto the
people what had happened among them, that by beholding this scene it
would cause them to believe in the power of God, therefore she ran
forth from house to house, making it known unto the people.
19:18 And they began to assemble themselves together unto the house of
the king. And there came a multitude, and to their astonishment they
beheld the king, and the queen, and their servants prostrate upon the
earth, and they all lay there as though they were dead; and they also
saw Ammon, and behold, he was a Nephite.
19:19 And now the people began to murmur among themselves; some saying
that it was a great evil that had come upon them, or upon the king and
his house, because he had suffered that the Nephite should remain in
the land.
19:20 But others rebuked them, saying: The king hath brought this evil
upon his house, because he slew his servants who had had their flocks
scattered at the waters of Sebus.
19:21 And they were also rebuked by those men who had stood at the
waters of Sebus and scattered the flocks which belonged to the king,
for they were angry with Ammon because of the number which he had slain
of their brethren at the waters of Sebus, while defending the flocks of
the king.
19:22 Now, one of them, whose brother had been slain with the sword of
Ammon, being exceedingly angry with Ammon, drew his sword and went
forth that he might let it fall upon Ammon, to slay him; and as he
lifted the sword to smite him, behold, he fell dead.
19:23 Now we see that Ammon could not be slain, for the Lord had said
unto Mosiah, his father: I will spare him, and it shall be unto him
according to thy faith—therefore, Mosiah trusted him unto the Lord.
19:24 And it came to pass that when the multitude beheld that the man
had fallen dead, who lifted the sword to slay Ammon, fear came upon
them all, and they durst not put forth their hands to touch him or any
of those who had fallen; and they began to marvel again among
themselves what could be the cause of this great power, or what all
these things could mean.
