Sebus, referred to as the Waters of Sebus, was a notable location within the land of Ishmael, recognized in the Book of Mormon as a place where Lamanites watered their flocks (Alma 17:26). It became the scene of a significant event involving Ammon2, a son of Mosiah2, during his missionary endeavors among the Lamanites. King Lamoni, who ruled over this area, had earlier responded with severity to the loss of flocks at Sebus, executing servants charged with their care after they were scattered by local troublemakers (Alma 17:28). This aggressive response established a climate of fear among the shepherds, which Ammon used to his advantage. When Lamoni’s flocks were again dispersed by marauders at the Waters of Sebus, Ammon motivated his fellow servants to regather the scattered animals, thus avoiding the king’s wrath (Alma 17:27-29). The subsequent return of the aggressors intent on scattering the flocks a second time resulted in a display of Ammon’s extraordinary martial abilities, as he single-handedly defeated them, thereby enhancing his reputation among the Lamanites and aiding his missionary efforts (Alma 17:34-39). This event increased the faith of the king in Ammon’s words (Alma 18:1-3). The Waters of Sebus were also mentioned as a place of corrupt practice where marauders lingered with the intention of scattering flocks and causing disorder (Alma 18:7), and these actions ultimately contributed to the narrative of conversion that unfolds in the account of Ammon and King Lamoni.
