“Amalickiah Laid the Plan in His Heart to Dethrone the King of the Lamanites”

Brant Gardner

Amalickiah must have engaged in some ritual of voluntary submission, becoming the Lamanite king’s subject and vassal. Mormon obviously does not have access to Amalickiah’s thoughts but deduces them from his later behavior.
