Mormon now ties together this episode with the one mentioned in Alma 14:7-8. Zeezrom and other men who had believed were driven from Ammonihah, and it was their wives and children who were sacrificed while Alma and Amulek watched. At this point, we learn that they headed toward the land of Sidom.
Geographic: Sidom is a "land" and not mentioned specifically as a city. It appears to be eastward from Ammonihah. It is possible that Alma heads to this location because it was between Ammonihah and Aaron, the city he was attempting to visit when the angel met him and had him return to Ammonihah (see Sorenson, John L. The Geography of Book of Mormon Events. A Source Book. FARMS, 1990, p. 350).
