Mosiah 22:5 5 And the king granted unto him that
he might speak. And Gideon
said unto him:
Mosiah 22:6 6 Behold the back pass, through the back wall, on the back side of the city. The Lamanites, or the guards of the Lamanites, by night are drunken; therefore let us send a proclamation among all this people that they gather together their flocks and herds, that they may drive them into the wilderness by night.
Mosiah 22:7 7 And I will go according to thy command
and pay the last
tribute of wine to the Lamanites, and they will be
drunken; and
we will pass through the secret pass on the left of
their camp
when they are drunken and asleep.
Mosiah 22:8 8 Thus we will depart with our women
and our children, our
flocks, and our herds into the wilderness; and we
will travel
around the land of Shilom.
Mosiah 22:9 9 And it came to pass that the king
hearkened unto the words of
Gideon.
Mosiah 22:10 10 And king Limhi caused that his people
should gather their
flocks together; and he sent the tribute of wine to
the
Lamanites; and he also sent more wine, as a present
unto them;
and they did drink freely of the wine which king Limhi
did send
unto them.
Mosiah 22:11 11 And it came to pass that the people
of king Limhi did depart
by night into the wilderness with their flocks and
their herds,
and they went round about the land of Shilom in the
wilderness,
and bent their course towards the land of Zarahemla,
being led by
Ammon and his brethren.
Mosiah 22:12 12 And they had taken all their gold,
and silver, and their
precious things, which they could carry, and also
their
provisions with them, into the wilderness; and they
pursued their
journey.
Mosiah 22:13 13 And after being many days in the
wilderness they arrived in
the land of Zarahemla, and joined Mosiah’s people,
and became his
subjects.
Mosiah 22:14 14 And it came to pass that Mosiah
received them with joy; and
he also received their records, and also the records
which had
been found by the people of Limhi.
Mosiah 22:15 15 And now it came to pass when the
Lamanites had found that the
people of Limhi had departed out of the land by night,
that they
sent an army into the wilderness to pursue them;
Mosiah 22:16 16 And after they had pursued them
two days, they could no
longer follow their tracks; therefore they were lost
in the
wilderness.
Mosiah 23
Chapter 23
Mosiah 23:1 1 Now Alma, having been warned of the Lord that the armies of king Noah would come upon them, and having made it known to his people, therefore they gathered together their flocks, and took of their grain, and departed into the wilderness before the armies of king Noah.
Mosiah 23:2 2 And the Lord did strengthen them,
that the people of king Noah
could not overtake them to destroy them.
