Alma 18:1-5

Questions

Earlier we had the rustlers standing to scatter the flocks and Ammon standing to defend them. Now we have the servants standing to testify. Why all the emphasis on standing? Is there perhaps a three-fold typology here of attacking, defending, and testifying?

We are told that they "all" testified. Why would each of the servants be called to testify, rather than just one representative?
Why was "the faithfulness of Ammon" so noteworthy?
What was it about Ammon's "great power in contending against those who sought to slay him" that caused Lamoni such astonishment?
Why would Lamoni wonder if Ammon was "more than a man"?
Why would Lamoni wonder if Ammon was a punishment "upon this people, because of their murders"?

Who are these "enemies of the king"? Why were they his enemies and why hadn't they been brought to justice?
We are told again here about Ammon's "expertness" and "great strength"--why emphasize that again? Why would the servants think that no "man has such great power"?
What exactly made the servants think that Ammon was "a friend to the king"?

Why would Lamoni think that Ammon was the Great Spirit? What was their tradition about the Great Spirit?
Lamoni says that he has previously killed his servants. What does the ability to kill servants tell us about the power that he held as king? Why would Lamoni have killed servants that had been thwarted in the past by "the enemies of the king"?

What was the tradition of Lamoni about the Great Spirit? The Nehors also believed in God, but thought that "whatsoever they did was right". Is there a connection between the teachings of the Nehors and the tradition of Lamoni?
Why was Lamoni all of a sudden concerned about having killed his servants?
