The story of Amalickiah is among the most gripping in the Book of Mormon, and it begins here, in Alma 46.
But the most famous aspect of this specific chapter is its account of Moroni and the “title of liberty.”
On this, you should Google Mark Morrise’s “Simile Curses in the Ancient Near East, Old Testament, and Book of Mormon,” in Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 2/1 (1993): 124–38.
It’s easily found, and it puts Moroni’s action in a wonderful ancient Near Eastern context.
