The queen and the king and Ammon were lying flat on the ground. She knew this was the power of God. She thought this was a good time to tell the people what had happened. She thought that when they saw this, they would believe in the power of God. So she ran from house to house. She told the people what happened.
Paraphrase
She'd been a believer for years but had never told anyone. So when she saw all of Lamoni's servants lying on the ground, along with the queen, the king, and Ammon flat on the floor, she knew it was God's power at work. She thought: "If people see this scene, maybe it will make them believe in God's power!" So she ran from house to house, spreading the news.
