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.
