Land of Ammonihah

Alma's visit for Ammonihah. Three days north of the Land of Melek, though, apparently, journeying north from Melek, the southern entrance of Ammonihah is not the natural choice. The city of Aaron is somewhere nearby. First possessed by a man named Ammonihah.
Lord waiting to smite city.
Stays his hand because of the prayers of the righteous
If the righteous are expelled, then he will no longer stay his hand.
Righteous removed from the city. (Now wholly wicked.)
Alma says this must be allowed to occur so that the Lord can exercise a just judgement.
Destruction of Ammonihah.
And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out of the land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned, because they believed in the words of Alma.
1) And it came to pass in the eleventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, on the fifth day of the second month, there having been much peace in the land of Zarahemla, there having been no wars nor contentions for a certain number of years, even until the fifth day of the second month in the eleventh year, there was a cry of war heard throughout the land.
2) For behold, the armies of the Lamanites had come in upon the wilderness side, into the borders of the land, even into the city of Ammonihah, and began to slay the people and destroy the city.
3) And now it came to pass, before the Nephites could raise a sufficient army to drive them out of the land, they had destroyed the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, and also some around the borders of Noah, and taken others captive into the wilderness.
9) And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the Lamanites having been driven out of the land, and the people of Ammonihah were destroyed; yea, every living soul of the Ammonihahites was destroyed, and also their great city, which they said God could not destroy, because of its greatness.
10) But behold, in one day it was left desolate; and the carcasses were mangled by dogs and wild beasts of the wilderness.
11) Nevertheless, after many days their dead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth, and they were covered with a shallow covering. And now so great was the scent thereof that the people did not go in to possess the land of Ammonihah for many years. And it was called Desolation of Nehors; for they were of the profession of Nehor, who were slain; and their lands remained desolate.
But they took their armies and went over into the borders of the land of Zarahemla, and fell upon the people who were in the land of Ammonihah and destroyed them.
Lamanites attempt to attack Ammonihah, but are frightened off by the city's defenses.
And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins.
