Alma 17:20-24

20 And as Ammon entered the land of Ishmael, the Lamanites took him and bound him, as was their custom to bind all the Nephites who fell into their hands, and carry them before the king; and thus it was left to the pleasure of the king to slay them, or to retain them in captivity, or to cast them into prison, or to cast them out of his land, according to his will and pleasure.

21 And thus Ammon was carried before the king who was over the land of Ishmael; and his name was Lamoni; and he was a descendant of Ishmael.

22 And the king inquired of Ammon if it were his desire to dwell in the land among the Lamanites, or among his people.

23 And Ammon said unto him: Yea, I desire to dwell among this people for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die.

24 And it came to pass that king Lamoni was much pleased with Ammon, and caused that his bands should be loosed; and he would that Ammon should take one of his daughters to wife.

Questions:

How long between when the brothers separated and started off on their own, and when he got captured?

Did he put up any sort of struggle? Or welcome the chance to do the Lord's work?

Was he afraid? At all? Ever?

How old was he?

Did he know who the king's daughter was? Was she there? Did he ever end up marrying her?

Why did Ammon's response please the king so much? Were Nephites a novelty? Is that why he wanted to him to marry his daughter, to have Nephite blood in their descendant's bloodline?

Was Aaron's experience with this king's father, happening at the same time? Because they are pretty much the exact same story!

I can't wait for even more information, hopefully, someday, about these next remarkable chapters!!
