Who are the “fat ones”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“‘His fat ones’ refers to the soldiers of the Assyrian king. ‘Under his glory’ refers to the ‘glory’ of the Assyrian. Kindling a ‘burning like the burning of a fire’ could refer to, at least in part, the feverish plague in the Assyrian camp in the fateful year 701 B.C., when the Lord began to cut down the mighty empire” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:202).
