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.
115 And now Limhi had discovered them from the tower; even all their preparations for war did he discover; therefore he gathered his people together, and laid wait for them in the fields, and in the forests.
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.
117 And it came to pass that the battle became exceeding sore, for they fought like lions for their prey.
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.
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.
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.
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.
122 But Limhi said unto them, Ye shall not slay him, but bring him hither, that I may see him. And they brought him.
123 And Limhi said unto him, What cause have ye to come up to war against my people?
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?
