19:22 And it came to pass that they were about to return to the land of
Nephi, and they met the men of Gideon. And the men of Gideon told them
of all that had happened to their wives and their children; and that
the Lamanites had granted unto them that they might possess the land by
paying a tribute to the Lamanites of one half of all they possessed.
19:23 And the people told the men of Gideon that they had slain the
king, and his priests had fled from them farther into the wilderness.
19:24 And it came to pass that after they had ended the ceremony, that
they returned to the land of Nephi, rejoicing, because their wives and
their children were not slain; and they told Gideon what they had done
to the king.
19:25 And it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites made an oath
unto them, that his people should not slay them.
19:26 And also Limhi, being the son of the king, having the kingdom
conferred upon him by the people, made oath unto the king of the
Lamanites that his people should pay tribute unto him, even one half of
all they possessed.
19:27 And it came to pass that Limhi began to establish the kingdom and
to establish peace among his people.
19:28 And the king of the Lamanites set guards round about the land,
that he might keep the people of Limhi in the land, that they might not
depart into the wilderness; and he did support his guards out of the
tribute which he did receive from the Nephites.
19:29 And now king Limhi did have continual peace in his kingdom for
the space of two years, that the Lamanites did not molest them nor seek
to destroy them.
Mosiah Chapter 20
20:1 Now there was a place in Shemlon where the daughters of the
Lamanites did gather themselves together to sing, and to dance, and to
make themselves merry.
20:2 And it came to pass that there was one day a small number of them
gathered together to sing and to dance.
20:3 And now the priests of king Noah, being ashamed to return to the
city of Nephi, yea, and also fearing that the people would slay them,
therefore they durst not return to their wives and their children.
20:4 And having tarried in the wilderness, and having discovered the
daughters of the Lamanites, they laid and watched them;
20:5 And when there were but few of them gathered together to dance,
they came forth out of their secret places and took them and carried
them into the wilderness; yea, twenty and four of the daughters of the
Lamanites they carried into the wilderness.
20:6 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites found that their
daughters had been missing, they were angry with the people of Limhi,
for they thought it was the people of Limhi.
20:7 Therefore they sent their armies forth; yea, even the king himself
went before his people; and they went up to the land of Nephi to
destroy the people of Limhi.
