2 But there was one among them whose name was Alma, he also being a descendant of Nephi,
3 And he was a young man; And he believed the words which Abinadi had spoken, for he knew concerning the iniquity which Abinadi had testified against them;
4 Therefore, he began to plead with the king that he would not be angry with Abinadi, but suffer that he might depart in peace.
5 But the king was more wroth and caused that Alma should be cast out from among them and sent his servants after him, that they might slay him;
6 But he fled from before them and hid himself, that they found him not;
7 And he, being concealed for many days, did write all the words which Abinadi had spoken.
8 And it came to pass that the king caused that his guards should surround Abinadi and take him; And they bound him and cast him into prison;
9 And after three days, having counseled with his priests, he caused that he should again be brought before him.
10 And he said unto him: "Abinadi, we have found an accusation against thee and thou art worthy of death,
11 For thou hast said that God Himself should come down among the children of men;
12 And now for this cause thou shalt be put to death, unless thou wilt recall all the words which thou hast spoken evil concerning me and my people."
