Ammoron

This article is about the Book of Mormon figure. For the Filipino Mythological figure, see Ama-ron.
Ammoron should not be confused with Amaron, Ammaron, Amoron, or Moron (Book of Mormon) three other Book of Mormon figures with similar names.

According to the Book of Mormon, Ammoron (/ˈæm.ɔːr.ɑːn/[1]) was a Nephite traitor. He was a descendant of Zoram and succeeded his brother Amalickiah as the king of the Lamanites. Amalickiah, as king, had started a major war with the Nephites which the Nephites had hoped would end with his death. However, Ammoron seized power and became determined to carry-on the war of his brother. Eventually his armies were defeated in and he was slain by Teancum.
