Amalickiah’s Servants

Amalickiah’s servants played a pivotal role in executing a deceitful scheme orchestrated by Amalickiah, a cunning leader among the Lamanites. As part of Amalickiah’s plan to seize power, these servants were tasked with the critical mission of approaching the Lamanite king under the guise of loyalty and reverence. As the king came out to meet Amalickiah, the servants went forth and bowed themselves before him, pretending to honor the king’s greatness (Alma 47:22). This act of feigned reverence set the stage for a treacherous plot, where the murder of the king was falsely attributed to the king’s own servants. This manipulation and deception were crucial in advancing Amalickiah’s ambitions, enabling him to blame the innocent and further his quest for dominance over the Lamanite nation. The actions of Amalickiah’s servants were instrumental in altering the course of leadership among the Lamanites, leading to significant shifts in power and influence.
