179 And thus the work of the Lord did commence among the Lamanites; thus the Lord did begin to pour out his Spirit upon them;
180 And we see that his arm is extended to all people who will repent and believe on his name.
181 And it came to pass that when they had established a church in that land, that King Lamoni desired that Ammon should go with him to the land of Nephi, that he might shew him unto his father.
182 And the voice of the Lord came to Ammon, saying, Thou shalt not go up to the land of Nephi, for behold the king will seek thy life; but thou shalt go to the land of Middoni; for behold, thy brother Aaron, and also Muloki and Ammah are in prison.
183 Now it came to pass that when Ammon had heard this, he said unto Lamoni, Behold, my brother and brethren are in prison at Middoni, and I go that I may deliver them.
184 Now Lamoni said unto Ammon, I know, in the strength of the Lord, thou canst do all things. But behold, I will go with thee to the land of Middoni, for the king of the land of Middoni, whose name is Antiomno, is a friend unto me;
185 Therefore I go to the land of Middoni, that I may flatter the king of the land; and he will cast thy brethren out of prison.
186 Now Lamoni said unto him, Who told thee that thy brethren were in prison?
187 And Ammon said unto him, No one hath told me, save it be God; and he said unto me, Go and deliver thy brethren, for they are in prison in the land of Middoni.
188 Now when Lamoni had heard this, he caused that his servants should make ready his horses, and his chariots.
189 And he said unto Ammon, Come, I will go with thee down to the land of Middoni, and there I will plead with the king, that he will cast thy brethren out of prison.
