It isn’t a clever trick that Ammon was employing when he said that he was called to teach the plan of salvation to the people of God (implying that Lamoni and his people were asking their number). Admin said that because he truly saw Lamoni and his people as being among the people of God…

The chief judge and the lawyers acted brace for killing women and children when they saw real power displayed they never lived to tell about it.
