128 And it came to pass that Ammon did as he was commanded, and went in unto the queen, and desired to know what she would that he should do.

129 And she said unto him, The servants of my husband have made it known unto me, that thou art a prophet of a holy God, and that thou hast power to do many mighty works in his name;

130 Therefore, if this is the case, I would that ye should go in and see my husband, for he has been laid upon his bed for the space of two days and two nights;

131 And some say that he is not dead, but others say that he is dead, and that he stinketh, and that he ought to be placed in a sepulcher; but as for myself, to me he doth not stink.

132 Now this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that King Lamoni was under the power of God;

133 He knew that the dark veil of unbelief being cast away from his mind, and the light which did light up his mind, which was the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous light of his goodness;

134 Yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light of everlasting light was lit up in his soul;

135 Yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame, and he was carried away in God; therefore, what the queen desired of him, was his only desire.

136 Therefore he went in to see the king, according as the queen had desired him; and he saw the king, and he knew that he was not dead.

137 And he said unto the queen, He is not dead, but he sleepeth in God, and on the morrow he shall rise again; therefore bury him not.

138 And Ammon said unto her, Believest thou this?
