After being visited by an angel, he gives food to the prophet Alma, listens to his preaching, and becomes his missionary companion.
The men who believe their teachings are thrown out of the city and the women and children are burned in a fire, which Alma and Amulek are made to watch.
The angel tells him to go back to Ammonihah and feed a hungry prophet of God, who would in turn bless him and his home.
[6][7] Shortly after, Alma is returning to the city after previous rejection, meets Amulek, and asks him for something to eat.
[6] Zeezrom also offers him six onties, about 42 days of wages for a judge in Ammonihah, to deny God but Amulek refuses.
[11][12] Following their teaching, many people believe the words of Alma and Amulek, but they are still captured and brought to the chief judge of the land.
After strong accusations are brought against them, Zeezrom begins to feel guilty and confesses he lied and they have done nothing wrong.
[15] Scholar Robert A. Rees points out that Alma and Amulek both had similar conversions in which they rebelled against God, an angel appeared, and they had a change of heart.
