Shared words: had entered into a covenant with God to

Near-identical registration formula 'entered into a covenant with God to… keep his commandments.' The 'they themselves' of 21:31 are Ammon's party - men of Zarahemla, of Benjamin's covenant generation - and the formula spreads where they carry it: 21:32 'king Limhi had also entered into a covenant with God, and also many of his people, to serve him and keep his commandments.' Ammon-of-zarahemla.md narrates 21:31-32 with a cross-link to king-benjamin.md; the record is hosted here.
