Mosiah Ch24

Amulon persecutes the people as their leader and bands then from praying. The Lord blesses them because they continue to worship him and they are delivered from their bondage to join the people of Zarahemla. 
The former priests of Noah used their cunning to gain favor with the Lamanite king, Laman, and appointed teachers over all the lands under their control (v1-3). Amulon appointed more teachers of his choosing and this caused the language of Nephites to be custom with the Lamanites but they weren't taught of God (v4-5). They keep records and grow in riches and in wisdom of the world (v6-7).
Amulon persecutes Alma because he continues to teach Abinadi's words from before but all the authority being excersiced only caused the people to pray for help (v8-10). Amulon commanded them to stop and put to death those who prayed vocally so they continued to pray in their hearts (v11-12). And they were answered and comforted by The Lord, who made their burdens seem light (v13-15). 
They exercised so much faith that The Lord gave Alma instructions to be ready to flee out of bondage (v16-17). They gathered their things and the Lamanites fell in a deep sleep so they could escape (v18-20). They were thankful and praised God and even needed to be told to hurry up and leave because the Lamanites started to come after them (v21-23). After 12 days of travel they arrived and were received by Mosiah to Zarahemla (v24-25).
