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.
190 And it came to pass that as Ammon and Lamoni were journeying thither, that they met the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.
191 And behold, the father of Lamoni said unto him, Why did ye not come to the feast, on that great day when I made a feast unto my sons, and unto my people?
192 And he also said, Whither art thou going with this Nephite, who is one of the children of a liar?
193 And it came to pass that Lamoni rehearsed unto him whither he was going, for he feared to offend him.
194 And he also told him all the cause of his tarrying in his own kingdom, that he did not go unto his father, to the feast which he had prepared.
195 And now when Lamoni had rehearsed unto him all these things, behold to his astonishment his father was angry with him, and said, Lamoni, thou art going to deliver these Nephites, who are sons of a liar.
196 Behold, he robbed our fathers; and now his children are also come amongst us, that they may, by their cunning and their lyings, deceive us, that they again may rob us of our property.
197 Now the father of Lamoni commanded him that he should slay Ammon, with the sword.
198 And he also commanded him that he should not go to the land of Middoni, but that he should return with him, to the land of Ishmael.
