The people had complained because there was only one person, Alma, condemning them, which was a legitimate legal issue. How surprised and crestfallen they must have been when Amulek similarly testified. "When Amulek had spoken these words the people began to be astonished, seeing there was more than one witness who testified of the things whereof they were accused." The Lord again provided a tender mercy to aid in his purposes. He does not leave us alone. Yet, they hardened their hearts and "were more angry with Amulek" (Alma 10:24).
