Naʻe tui pea fakatomala ha niʻihi ‘o e kakai ‘i ‘Amonaihaá, kau ai ‘a Sisolome, hili ‘enau fanongo ki he malanga ‘a ‘Alamā mo ‘Amulekí.

Naʻe fakahā kia Alamā, ‘oku maʻu ‘e he ‘Eikí kiate Ia “‘i he nāunau” (ʻAlamā 14:11) ‘a kinautolu ‘oku maté.

Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 14:14–17, pea fakakaukau ki he founga naʻe hanga ai ‘e he tui ‘a ‘Alamā mo ‘Amulekí ‘o tokoniʻi kinaua ‘i he hokohoko atu ‘ena fepaki mo e faingataʻá ‘i he nima ‘o e kau taki fai angahala ‘o ‘Amonaihaá. ‘Okú ke pehē ko e hā nai ‘a e ‘uhinga ne hoko ai ‘a e ‘ikai ke na fai ha tali ki heʻenau ngaahi fehuʻi he taimi ko iá, ko e tali lelei taha pē ia ke na faí? (Vakai foki, Mātiu 27:11–14.)

‘Oku fakamatala ‘a e ʻAlamā 14:18–28 ki he anga ‘o e faingataʻaʻia ‘a ‘Alamā mo ʻAmuleki ‘i ha ngaahi meʻa lahi kimuʻa pea toki fakahaofi kinaua ‘e he ‘Otuá mo fakaʻauha ‘a e kau taki fai angahala ‘o ‘Amonaihaá.
