Mosiah Travel Maps    

Mosiah 9:93 And it came to pass that Gideon sent men into the wilderness secretly, to search for the king, and those that were with him.

Mosiah 9:94 And it came to pass that they met the people in the wilderness, all save the king and his priests.

Mosiah 9:95 Now they had sworn in their hearts that they would return to the land of Nephi, and if their wives and their children were slain, and also those that had tarried with them, that they would seek revenge, and also perish with them.

Mosiah 9:96 And the king commanded them that they should not return; and they were angry with the king, and caused that he should suffer, even unto death by fire.

Mosiah 9:97 And they were about to take the priests also to put them to death, and they fled before them.

Mosiah 9:98 And it came to pass that they were about to return to the land of Nephi, and they met the men of Gideon.

Mosiah 9:100 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.

Mosiah 9:101 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.

Mosiah 9:108 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.

Mosiah 9:110 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.

Mosiah 9:111 And having tarried in the wilderness, and having discovered the daughters of the Lamanites, they laid and watched them; 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.

Mosiah 9:113 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.

Mosiah 9:114 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.

Mosiah 9:116 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had come up, that the people of Limhi began to fall upon them from their waiting places, and began to slay them.

Mosiah 9:117 And it came to pass that the battle became exceeding sore, for they fought like lions for their prey.

Mosiah 9:118 And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them, yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites.

Mosiah 9:119 But they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves, and like dragons did they fight.

Mosiah 9:120 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 9:121 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 9:122 But Limhi said unto them, Ye shall not slay him, but bring him hither, that I may see him. And they brought him.

Mosiah 9:123 And Limhi said unto him, What cause have ye to come up to war against my people?

Mosiah 9:124 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 9:125 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 9:126 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.

Mosiah 9:127 Therefore he caused a search to be made among his people.

Mosiah 9:128 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 9:129 For do ye not remember the priests of thy father, whom this people sought to destroy?

Mosiah 9:130 And are they not in the wilderness? And are not they the ones who have stolen the daughters of the Lamanites?

Mosiah 9:131 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 9:132 And behold, they come with their numerous hosts; and except the king doth pacify them towards us, we must perish.

Mosiah 9:133 For are not the words of Abinadi fulfilled, which he prophesied against us? and all this because we would not hearken unto the word of the Lord, and turn from our iniquities?

Mosiah 9:134 And now let us pacify the king, and we fulfill 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 9:135 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 9:136 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 9:137 And it came to pass that they followed the king, and went forth without arms to meet the Lamanites.

Mosiah 9:138 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 9:139 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 9:140 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 9:150 And it came to pass that their continual cries did stir up the remainder of the people of Limhi to anger, against the Lamanites.

Mosiah 9:151 And they went again to battle; but they were driven back again, suffering much loss.

Mosiah 9:152 Yea, they went again, even the third time, and suffered in the like manner; and those that were not slain, returned again to the city of Nephi.
