History: Limhi’s explanation provides not only more history of his people but also some geographical details. Even before Ammon’s arrival, Limhi had hoped for political deliverance from Zarahemla. The fact that these hopes were dashed once explains why Limhi immediately rejoiced when actual representatives from Zarahemla arrived.
