Ammon and Alma-2 reference Lehi

Ammon's grandfather, King Benjamin, was given the Small Plates of Nephi. It is possible, perhaps even very likely that Ammon had the account of Lehi's dream and prophecies read to him as a young boy.

So it shouldn't surprise us when we find subtle references to Lehi's words in the words of Ammon.

Here is Ammon praising God after experiencing tremendous success in his missionary efforts:

36 Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of the tree of Israel, and has been lost from its body in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who has been mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land. (Alma 26)

Compare this to Lehi's words:

32 And it came to pass that many were drowned in the depths of the fountain; and many were lost from his view, wandering in strange roads. (1 Nephi 8)

14 And after the house of Israel should be scattered they should be gathered together again; or, in fine, after the Gentiles had received the fulness of the Gospel, the natural branches of the olive tree, or the remnants of the house of Israel, should be grafted in, or come to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their Lord and their Redeemer. (1 Nephi 10)

Alma-2 also uses these words:

23 And they are made known unto us in plain terms, that we may understand, that we cannot err; and this because of our being wanderers in a strange land; therefore, we are thus highly favored, for we have these glad tidings declared unto us in all parts of our vineyard. (Alma 13)
