Alma 27:6

6 But the king said unto them: Behold, the Nephites will destroy us, because of the many murders and sins we have committed against them.

So the king has a choice. They can stay and die, or leave and die.

What is going through his mind and heart? How is his faith right now?

Is he thinking about the women and children, who he'd rather have at least a home, rather than being left homeless in the wilderness near Zarahemla?

Did Ammon know they would be safe? (Spoiler alert)
