Fewer Wrods Version: The people held an election and Amlici lost. But his followers made him king anyway. Amlici told his followers to force all of the Nephites to obey him as their new king. (Alma 5-10)
And thus they did assemble themselves together to cast in their voices concerning the matter ... And it came to pass that the voice of the people came against Amlici ... but Amlici did stir up those who were in his favor to anger against those who were not in his favor. And it came to pass that they gathered themselves together, and did consecrate Amlici to be their king. Now when Amlici was made king over them he commannded them that they should take up arms against their brethren; and this he did that he might subject them to him. Alma 2:5-10
