91 And now there was one of the sons of the king among those that were taken captive, whose name was Limhi.
92 And now Limhi was desirous that his father should not be destroyed; nevertheless, Limhi was not ignorant of the iniquities of his father, he himself being a just man.
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.
94 And it came to pass that they met the people in the wilderness, all save the king and his priests.
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.
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.
97 And they were about to take the priests also to put them to death, and they fled before them.
98 And it came to pass that they were about to return to the land of Nephi, and they met the men of Gideon.
99 And the men of Gideon told them of all that had happened to their wives and their children; and that the Lamanites had granted unto them that they might possess the land by paying a tribute to the Lamanites of one half of all they possessed.
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.
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.
