“The People of Amulon”
Amulon was one of the most prominent and degraded priests of King Noah. He undoubtedly aided in the martyrdom of Abinadi. When King Noah was burned to death by his enraged subjects, Amulon, with Its fellow priests, fled into the wilderness. There they hid themselves for an extended period, eventually capturing some Lamanite maidens and taking them to wife. The children they had deserted, displeased with their fathers’ conduct, later renounced that parentage and “took upon themselves the name of Nephi” (see Mosiah 25:12).
