Alma 17:29

Now they wept because of the fear of being slain. Now when Ammon saw this, his heart was swollen within him, with joy; for, said he, I will shew forth my power unto these my fellow servants, or the power which is in me, in restoring these flocks unto the king, that I may win the hearts of these my fellow servants, that I may lead them to believe in my words.

They cried because they were afraid of being killed. When Ammon saw this, his heart was filled with joy. He said: I will show my power to these servants. I will show the power that is in me by bringing these flocks back to the king. Then I can win the hearts of these servants. Then I can help them believe my words.

They wept out of fear for their lives. When Ammon saw this, his heart swelled with joy. He thought, “This is my chance. I’ll show these men my power—God’s power in me—by bringing back the king’s flocks. When they see what God can do, I’ll win their trust. They’ll listen to what I have to say.”
