Mosiah 20:16 16 And now Limhi had heard nothing concerning this matter;
therefore he said:  I will search among my people and whosoever
has done this thing shall perish.  Therefore he caused a search
to be made among his people.

Mosiah 20:17 17 Now when Gideon had heard these things, he being the king’s
captain, he went forth and said unto the king:  I pray thee
forbear, and do not search this people, and lay not this thing to
their charge.

Mosiah 20:18 18 For do ye not remember the priests of thy father, whom this
people sought to destroy?  And are they not in the wilderness? 
And are not they the ones who have stolen the daughters of the
Lamanites?

Mosiah 20:19 19 And now, behold, and tell the king of these things, that he
may tell his people that they may be pacified towards us; for
behold they are already preparing to come against us; and behold
also there are but few of us.

Mosiah 20:20 20 And behold, they come with their numerous hosts; and except
the king doth pacify them towards us we must perish.

Mosiah 20:21 21 For are not the words of Abinadi fulfilled, which he
prophesied against us—­and all this because we would not hearken
unto the words of the Lord, and turn from our iniquities?

Mosiah 20:22 22 And now let us pacify the king, and we fulfil the oath which
we have made unto him; for it is better that we should be in
bondage than that we should lose our lives; therefore, let us put
a stop to the shedding of so much blood.

Mosiah 20:23 23 And now Limhi told the king all the things concerning his
father, and the priests that had fled into the wilderness, and
attributed the carrying away of their daughters to them.

Mosiah 20:24 24 And it came to pass that the king was pacified towards his
people; and he said unto them:  Let us go forth to meet my people,
without arms; and I swear unto you with an oath that my people
shall not slay thy people.

Mosiah 20:25 25 And it came to pass that they followed the king, and went forth without arms to meet the Lamanites.  And it came to pass that they did meet the Lamanites; and the king of the Lamanites did bow himself down before them, and did plead in behalf of the people of Limhi.

Mosiah 20:26 26 And when the Lamanites saw the people of Limhi, that they
were without arms, they had compassion on them and were pacified
towards them, and returned with their king in peace to their own
land.

Mosiah 21
Chapter 21

Mosiah 21:1 1 And it came to pass that Limhi and his people returned to the
city of Nephi, and began to dwell in the land again in peace.

Mosiah 21:2 2 And it came to pass that after many days the Lamanites began
again to be stirred up in anger against the Nephites, and they
began to come into the borders of the land round about.
