There was no chapter break at this point in 1830, thus we have the story of Amulon continuing after his introduction at the end of the previous chapter. After telling the story of the women defending their husbands, the Lamanites accept the former priests into their society. Amulon was apparently the leader, since he had their land named after him. He and the other priests are appointed as teachers.
These verses give us a little glimpse of Lamanite culture, which will become more evident later in the story of the sons of Mosiah and their missionary journey. The king of the Lamanites has inherited his position from his father. Both are named Laman, but we cannot know if that is a personal name or a throne name. In any case, the Lamanite system set up the governance of other lands with local kings who were nevertheless beholden to the main king. This is a type of governmental system that is attested among the Classic Maya, based upon their carved texts.
