Alma is talking to his son Shiblon and says the following:
3 I say unto you, my son, that I have had great joy in thee already, because of thy faithfulness and thy diligence, and thy patience and thy long-suffering among the people of the aZoramites.
4 For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea, and I also know that thou wast stoned for the word’s sake; and thou didst bear all these things with apatience because the Lord was bwith thee; and now thou knowest that the Lord did deliver thee.
Answer:
Yes, apparently he was stoned. I wonder if Shiblon's experience being stoned also may have had some kind of permanent effect on him, perhaps causing him to be disabled or disfigured.
5 And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your atrust in God even so much ye shall be bdelivered out of your trials, and your ctroubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
What causes me to wonder that is the reference to Shiblon's trials, troubles, and afflictions. We all have them, but the fact that they are specifically referenced nearby each other makes me suspicious.
