Rabbanah
Ammon knew immediately that something significant had shifted when he was greeted with the title Rabbanah after feeding the horses and preparing the chariots.

His fellow servants
I never thought about it before but Ammon wasn’t trying specifically to peach to the king. He took his actions with the intent to help and influence those who were closest to him, namely the other servants. It was when Lamoni began to question him that he turned his focus specifically to Lamoni, but even…

A period of peace
We read about various instances where the Nephites had peace asking themselves and the church was generally established throughout all their lands (this being different than simply times of prosperity and peace even as there were many who did not affiliate with the church).

Turnabout
I’ve never thought before of the fact that Amulek was just like all those who had been cast out of Ammonihah because he too believed the gospel preached by Alma. It makes me wonder of he lost any family members in the fire. I think it is lively that Alma took Angel into his own…

Seeking diligently
Could Alma and Amulek clearly recognize the change in Zeezrom when he went from challenging them to actually trying to learn?

I think it is interesting (and wise) that the valuation of their monetary units was based on measures of grain. Payment for any goods or services could be calculated in terms of how many meals could be provided by the payment, thus everything was valued relative to how much people could be fed. They may…

I knew…yet I would not know
Amulek’s description of himself sounds like Isaac and so many others who have rejected the truth that has been taught to them. (Amulek rejected it but Isaac also fights against it.)

Meanwhile in the land of Nephi…
None years into the reign of the judges is halfway through the mission of the sons of Mosiah. We know that the converts among the Lamanites opened correspondence with the Nephites. I wonder if Alma was aware of at least a portion of the success that Ammon and his brethren were having by that point.
