Alma 47:35

And it came to pass that Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and took her unto him to wife; and thus by his fraud, and by the assistance of his cunning servants, he obtained the kingdom; yea, he was acknowledged king throughout all the land, among all the people of the Lamanites, which was composed of the Lamanites, and the Lemuelites, and the Ishmaelites, and all the dissenters of the Nephites, from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.

Amalickiah tried to win over the queen. He married her. By lying and using his clever servants, he got control of the kingdom. He was made king over all the land. Everyone among the Lamanites accepted him as king. The Lamanites included the real Lamanites, the Lemuelites, the Ishmaelites, and all the people who left the Nephites from the time of Nephi up to now.

Then Amalickiah won the queen’s favor and married her. Through his fraud and the help of his scheming servants, he gained the kingdom. He was acknowledged as king throughout all the Lamanite lands—over the Lamanites, the Lemuelites, the Ishmaelites, and all the Nephite dissenters from Nephi’s time down to the present.
