ncerning these things,
whatsoever thou desirest I will give unto thee; and if it were
needed, I would guard thee with my armies; but I know that thou
art more powerful than all they; nevertheless, whatsoever thou
desirest of me I will grant it unto thee.

Alma 18:22
22 Now Ammon being wise, yet harmless, he said unto Lamoni: Wilt
thou hearken unto my words, if I tell thee by what power I do
these things? And this is the thing that I desire of thee.

Alma 18:23
23 And the king answered him, and said: Yea, I will believe all
thy words. And thus he was caught with guile.

Alma 18:24
24 And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness, and said
unto him: Believest thou that there is a God?

Alma 18:25
25 And he answered, and said unto him: I do not know what that
meaneth.

Alma 18:26

Alma 18:36
36 Now when Ammon had said these words, he began at the creation
