Thus the Amulonites were Nephites on their fathers’ side and Lamanites on their mothers’. Their education was that of the Nephites, and many of them became followers of Nehor. Scattered throughout the lands of Amulon, Helam, and Jerusalem, they assumed a leading role as opponents of Ammon and his missionary brethren. None of their number repented and accepted the gospel. Rather, they became leaders in the persecutions carried on against the suffering people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi and, with the Amalekites, made martyrs of many of those Saints.
