I just read Alma 46-47
IT BLEW MY MIND
Pretty much what happens is this guy gets his own army surrounded, kills the leader of that army, and takes over both armies. Then he had his servants kill the king in his land but convinced everyone it was the king’s servants so the kings servants fled into the wilderness.
I had to read it like three times to understand it.
But this guy, Amalickiah, was really smart. I guess the point is that just because someone’s wicked doesn’t mean they’re stupid. They know how to bring you down. Keep the Spirit with you always.
