20 But he caused that there should be synagogues built in the land of Ishmael; and he caused that his people, or the people who were under his reign, should assemble themselves together.
21 And he did rejoice over them, and he did teach them many things. And he did also declare unto them that they were a people who were under him, and that they were a free people, that they were free from the oppressions of the king, his father; for that his father had granted unto him that he might reign over the people who were in the land of Ishmael, and in all the land round about.
22 And he also declared unto them that they might have the liberty of worshiping the Lord their God according to their desires, in whatsoever place they were in, if it were in the land which was under the reign of king Lamoni.

So, we're soon going to call these people "Ammonites" and revere and love and respect them for their great love and faith. But it just occurred to me that Lamoni had a big part of this. He granted them their freedom. He also taught them about God. He built them synagogues to worship in. I feel like he deserves to be remembered as well as Ammon. I can't wait to hopefully have HIS story someday!
