Amoron

Amoron is briefly mentioned in Moroni 9:7, which states: “And now I write somewhat concerning the sufferings of this people. For according to the knowledge which I have received from Amoron, behold, the Lamanites have many prisoners, which they took from the tower of Sherrizah; and there were men, women, and children.” [Moroni 9:7]

This is the only mention of Amoron in the Book of Mormon. From this verse, we can gather the following about Amoron:

1. He was a correspondent of Mormon (2), the author of the book of Moroni. [Moroni 9:7]
2. Amoron provided Mormon with information about the Lamanites taking many prisoners, including men, women, and children, from the tower of Sherrizah. [Moroni 9:7]

Beyond this brief mention, the Book of Mormon does not provide any additional details about Amoron or his relationship with Mormon. His role appears to have been that of a messenger or informant, providing Mormon with important information about the Lamanites’ actions and the suffering of the Nephite people.

The search results do not contain any further information about Amoron or his significance in the overall narrative of the Book of Mormon. His brief appearance in Moroni 9:7 is the only reference to him in the text.
