Now the king, fearing he should lose his life, said: If thou wilt spare me I will grant unto thee whatsoever thou wilt ask, even to half of the kingdom.
26
And when he saw that Ammon had no desire to
destroy him, and when he also saw the great love he had for his son
Lamoni, he was astonished exceedingly, and said: Because this is all
that thou hast desired, that I would release thy brethren, and suffer that my son Lamoni should retain his kingdom, behold, I will grant unto you that my son may retain his kingdom from this time and forever; and I will govern him no more—
27
And I will also grant unto thee that thy brethren may be cast out of prison, and thou and thy brethren may come unto me, in my kingdom; for I shall greatly desire to see thee.
For the king was greatly astonished at the words which he had spoken,
and also at the words which had been spoken by his son Lamoni, therefore
he was desirous to learn them.
