78 For there had been a great feast appointed at the land of Nephi, by the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.

79 Now when King Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his chariots, he was more astonished, because of the faithfulness of Ammon, saying,

80 Surely, there has not been any servant among all my servants, that has been so faithful as this man; for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them.

81 Now I surely know that this is the Great Spirit; and I would desire him that he come in unto me, but I durst not.

82 And it came to pass that when Ammon had made ready the horses and the chariots for the king and his servants, he went in unto the king, and he saw that the countenance of the king was changed; therefore he was about to return out of his presence;

83 And one of the king's servants said unto him, Rabbanah, which is, being interpreted, powerful or great king, considering their kings to be powerful:

84 And thus he said unto him, Rabbanah, the king desireth thee to stay;

85 Therefore Ammon turned himself unto the king, and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do for thee, O king!

86 And the king answered him not for the space of an hour, according to their time, for he knew not what he should say unto him.

87 And it came to pass that Ammon said unto him again, What desireth thou of me? But the king answered him not.

88 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king.
