King Limhi and his people, and Alma and his people, are both delivered from the Lamanites in similar ways: the Lamanites are asleep and they escape. But Limhi’s people had to make them fall asleep with wine while the Lord put the Lamanites to sleep for Alma’s people. So, which miracle came from God? They both did.
