19:25 And it came to pass that there were many among them who said that
Ammon was the Great Spirit, and others said he was sent by the Great
Spirit;
19:26 But others rebuked them all, saying that he was a monster, who
had been sent from the Nephites to torment them.
19:27 And there were some who said that Ammon was sent by the Great
Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities; and that it was the
Great Spirit that had always attended the Nephites, who had ever
delivered them out of their hands; and they said that it was this Great
Spirit who had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites.
19:28 And thus the contention began to be exceedingly sharp among them.
And while they were thus contending, the woman servant who had caused
the multitude to be gathered together came, and when she saw the
contention which was among the multitude she was exceedingly sorrowful,
even unto tears.
19:29 And it came to pass that she went and took the queen by the hand,
that perhaps she might raise her from the ground; and as soon as she
touched her hand she arose and stood upon her feet, and cried with a
loud voice, saying: O blessed Jesus, who has saved me from an awful
hell! O blessed God, have mercy on this people!
19:30 And when she had said this, she clasped her hands, being filled
with joy, speaking many words which were not understood; and when she
had done this, she took the king, Lamoni, by the hand, and behold he
arose and stood upon his feet.
19:31 And he, immediately, seeing the contention among his people, went
forth and began to rebuke them, and to teach them the words which he
had heard from the mouth of Ammon; and as many as heard his words
believed, and were converted unto the Lord.
19:32 But there were many among them who would not hear his words;
therefore they went their way.
19:33 And it came to pass that when Ammon arose he also administered
unto them, and also did all the servants of Lamoni; and they did all
declare unto the people the selfsame thing—that their hearts had been
changed; that they had no more desire to do evil.
19:34 And behold, many did declare unto the people that they had seen
angels and had conversed with them; and thus they had told them things
of God, and of his righteousness.
19:35 And it came to pass that there were many that did believe in
their words; and as many as did believe were baptized; and they became
a righteous people, and they did establish a church among them.
19:36 And thus the work of the Lord did commence among the Lamanites;
thus the Lord did begin to pour out his Spirit upon them; and we see
that his arm is extended to all people who will repent and believe on
his name.
Alma Chapter 20
20:1 And it came to pass that when they had established a church in
that land, that king Lamoni desired that Ammon should go with him to
the land of Nephi, that he might show him unto his father.
