“Lamoni as king could have been jealous of Ammon and his ability to garner such obedience and respect among the Lamanite people. But there is no sign of such a feeling, only love and compassion for Ammon. … Lamoni forbade Ammon to serve him and asked him to preach to his people instead. (Alma 21:19, 23.) It is rare to see one of such authority and position as Lamoni be as accepting and teachable before one so traditionally inferior” (Fronk, “Show Forth Good Examples in Me,” 328).
