Amalickiah

Part of: Zarahemla’s Age of War

• A man named Amalickiah rounds up all those disaffected with church; they determine to kill church members.
• Amalickiah campaigns to be king of this group of people, and he gets support because people holding lower level public offices (hoping for political promotions) were among his followers.
• Things look more ominous for the Nephites as many faithful church members lose faith and join with Amalickiah and his followers.
• This dissension was all in spite of the fact that the Nephites had just witnessed the power of God helping them in their victory over Zerahemnah and his militants.
