As you learned in Alma 14, the wicked people of Ammonihah drove out some of those people who believed Alma’s message, including Zeezrom, and burned the others in a fire. Alma 15 tells us where those believers went and what happened to Zeezrom and Amulek, who lost all they had in Ammonihah. Notice also what this chapter teaches us about the effects of guilt and the power of the Atonement.
