The wife of king Lamoni and the mother of sons and daughters. She showed remarkable faith in the words of Ammon and is told by him that, "There has not been such great faith among all the people of the Nephites."
The queen stayed up all night to watch over her unconscious husband and, in the morning, when he arose in fullfillment of Ammon's prophesy, king and queen share a powerful spiritual experience which fells them to the ground.
Abish awakens the queen who then praises God, blesses her people and speaks in tongues before helping Lamoni to his feet. Together they ministered to their people and created a haven in their kingdom for the followers of the true God.
