Through the intercession of King Lamoni and Ammon, the imprisoned missionaries were released from their wretched confinement. They were immediately clothed and fed, and all their wants ministered to by Ammon and Lamoni.
Middoni was a Lamanite Land where Aaron, Muloki, and Ammah, were imprisoned and treated with great cruelty by its sin-hardened inhabitants. Directed by the revelations of God, Ammon, then in the Land of Ishmael, determined to go and deliver his brethren from prison. Lamoni, the converted king of that land, decided to accompany him there, as he believed he had sufficient influence with Antiomno, King of Middoni, to effect the release of the imprisoned brethren. (86 B.C.)
On their way, Ammon and Lamoni met the latter's father, who was the supreme ruler of all the Lamanites, as he journeyed from the Land of Nephi to Ishmael, one of its provinces. From the circumstances of this meeting, it is to be presumed that Middoni lay somewhere between Ishmael and Nephi, and as it is spoken of as down, it was probably situated in some of the lower valleys, or north towards the wilderness that separated the Lands of Nephi and Zarahemla. On their arrival at the Land of Middoni, Ammon and Lamoni found favor with Antiomno and procured the release of Aaron and the other missionaries from the dungeons in which they were immured. Though they had at first so cruelly treated the Nephite missionaries the Lamanites of this land were among those who were converted to the Lord by their ministrations. (Alma 23:10)
