173 Yea, they did mourn for their departure, for they knew not whither they had fled.
174 Now they would have gladly joined with them, for they themselves had entered into a covenant with God, to serve him, and keep his commandments.
175 And now since the coming of Ammon, King Limhi had also entered into a covenant with God, and also many of his people, to serve him, and keep his commandments.
176 And it came to pass that King Limhi and many of his people were desirous to be baptized; but there was none in the land that had authority from God.
177 And Ammon declined doing this thing, considering himself an unworthy servant; therefore they did not at that time form themselves into a church, waiting upon the Spirit of the Lord.
178 Now they were desirous to become even as Alma and his brethren, who had fled into the wilderness.
179 They were desirous to be baptized, as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts;
180 Nevertheless they did prolong the time; and an account of their baptism shall be given hereafter.
181 And now all the study of Ammon and his people, and King Limhi and his people, was to deliver themselves out of the hands of the Lamanites and from bondage.
Mosiah 10 1 And now it came to pass that Ammon and King Limhi began to consult with the people how they should deliver themselves out of bondage;
2 And even they did cause that all the people should gather themselves together; and this they did that they might have the voice of the people concerning the matter.
