Alma 21:23 23 And Ammon did preach unto the people of king Lamoni; and it came to pass that he did teach them all things concerning things pertaining to righteousness.  And he did exhort them daily, with all diligence; and they gave heed unto his word, and they were zealous for keeping the commandments of God.

Alma 22
Chapter 22

Alma 22:1 1 Now, as Ammon was thus teaching the people of Lamoni continually, we will return to the account of Aaron and his brethren; for after he departed from the land of Middoni he was led by the Spirit to the land of Nephi, even to the house of the king which was over all the land save it were the land of Ishmael; and he was the father of Lamoni.

Alma 22:2 2 And it came to pass that he went in unto him into the king’s
palace, with his brethren, and bowed himself before the king, and
said unto him:  Behold, O king, we are the brethren of Ammon, whom
thou hast delivered out of prison.

Alma 22:3 3 And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants.  And the king said unto them:  Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives, and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants; but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me; for I have been somewhat troubled in mind because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon; and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee.

Alma 22:4 4 And Aaron said unto the king:  Behold, the Spirit of the Lord
has called him another way; he has gone to the land of Ishmael,
to teach the people of Lamoni.

Alma 22:5 5 Now the king said unto them:  What is this that ye have said
concerning the Spirit of the Lord?  Behold, this is the thing
which doth trouble me.

Alma 22:6 6 And also, what is this that Ammon said—­If ye will repent ye
shall be saved, and if ye will not repent, ye shall be cast off
at the last day?

Alma 22:7 7 And Aaron answered him and said unto him:  Believest thou that there is a God?  And the king said:  I know that the Amalekites say that there is a God, and I have granted unto them that they should build sanctuaries, that they may assemble themselves together to worship him.  And if now thou sayest there is a God, behold I will believe.

Alma 22:8 8 And now when Aaron heard this, his heart began to rejoice, and
he said:  Behold, assuredly as thou livest, O king, there is a
God.

Alma 22:9 9 And the king said:  Is God that Great Spirit that brought our
fathers out of the land of Jerusalem?

Alma 22:10 10 And Aaron said unto him:  Yea, he is that Great Spirit, and he
created all things both in heaven and in earth.  Believest thou
this?

Alma 22:11 11 And he said:  Yea, I believe that the Great Spirit created all
things, and I desire that ye should tell me concerning all these
things, and I will believe thy words.
