Unit 40
Segment 12 of 18 [#244]
Limhi Questions the Captured Lamanite King
Mosiah 20:12 - Mosiah 20:16
Duration: 1:15
Mosiah 20:12
And it came to pass that they found the king of the Lamanites
among the number of their dead;
yet he was not dead,
having been wounded and left upon the ground,
so speedy was the flight of his people.
Mosiah 20:13
And they took him and bound up his wounds,
and brought him before Limhi, and said:
Behold, here is the king of the Lamanites;
he having received a wound has fallen among their dead,
and they have left him;
and behold, we have brought him before you;
and now let us slay him.
Mosiah 20:14
But Limhi said unto them:
Ye shall not slay him, but bring him hither that I may see him.
And they brought him. And Limhi said unto him:
What cause have ye to come up to war against my people?
Behold, my people have not broken the oath that I made unto you;
therefore, why should ye break the oath which ye made unto my people?
Mosiah 20:15
And now the king said:
I have broken the oath
because thy people did carry away the daughters of my people;
therefore, in my anger I did cause my people
to come up to war against thy people.
Mosiah 20:16
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.
