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.
