In contrast to the public condemnation, this one is probably aimed directly at the King. We do not have the narrative which would tell us that Abinadi's eyes locked on the King at this point, but we know that Abinadi has already prophesied this end for Noah. The death of Noah by fire was first proclaimed in Mosiah 12:3: "And it shall come to pass that the life of king Noah shall be valued even as a garment in a hot furnace; for he shall know that I am the Lord." This would appear to be a very direct reiteration of that prophesy, which is fulfilled in Mosiah 19:20-21.
