It’s interesting to consider how much had happened since Alma and Amulon had last seen each other. Alma had fled from the armies of king Noah. Amulon had nearly been put to death with Noah by those who rebelled against the king. Amulon had stolen the daughters of the Lamanites and started new families. Alma had no idea what Amulon had been through since they separated.
More importantly, Alma had accepted that he was susceptible to the corruption of authority and tried to minimize his while still acting as a caring leader watching out for the welfare of his people. Amulon had undertone no such transformation.
