The dread and the fright that almost overcame the king's servants were now, themselves, overcome by an assurance of well-being. Unendingly, they called upon Ammon's God in mighty prayer until all, like the king and queen, and also Ammon, had fallen to the ground.
There was one exception to those who in the ecstasy of their emotions had fallen to the ground. She was a Lamanitish woman, named Abish. Many years before the events recorded here, she had been converted to the Lord through a remarkable vision had by her father.
Abish, although this story shows her faith in the Lord, nevertheless, kept the secret of her conversion in her own bosom. However, when she saw that all the king's servants had undergone what she recognized to be the power of God, and that they, together with the king, the queen, and Ammon, himself, had fallen to the earth as if in a trance, she supposed that seeing what had happened would convince others beside herself of God's great power. She accordingly ran forth from house to house, making known to the people the wonderful works of the Lord.
