Mosiah 18
Why did many believe Alma when they would not believe Abinadi? My best guess is that some few might have been inclined to believe Abinadi but they never had an opportunity to express belief. It may be that Alms had to hide himself in the midst of teaching at times from the searched of the king while those who had come to listen to him acted as if they were in the place of Mormon for some other purpose such as drawing water.
Because Alma had to hide himself from the king he must have been twitted to live off the charity of those who believed him besides anything he might have been able to gather around the place of Mormon.
