The city of Ammonihah is captured and destroyed by the Lamanites
just as Alma prophesied it would happen if they wouldn’t repent. Out of the tragedy immerges three new heros: the newly
appointed chief captain of the Nephite army, Zoram and his two sons, Lehi and
Aha. They want to rescue the people who
the Lamanites have taken captive from a city near Ammonihah called Noah. Zoram goes to Alma and asks him where to go to
make the rescue. Alma, acting as
prophet, inquires of the Lord and receives the specific battle plan from the
Lord. Surprising the Lamanites at a crossing of the
Sidon River, Chief Captain Zoram is able to rescue all of those who had been
taken captive by the Lamanites. This
story reminds us to inquire of the Lord and follow the prophet’s counsel to
rescue our family members, friends, and neighbors from the adversary. I love the names of Zoram’s two sons which
are given to us in this chapter: Lehi and Aha.
Both names have been shown to be names that are legitimate to this
culture and time period.
