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.
102 And it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites made an oath unto them that his people should not slay them.
103 And also Limhi, being the son of the king, having the kingdom conferred upon him by the people, made oath unto the king of the Lamanites, that his people should pay tribute unto him; even one half of all they possessed.
104 And it came to pass that Limhi began to establish the kingdom, and to establish peace among his people.
105 And the king of the Lamanites set guards round about the land, that he might keep the people of Limhi in the land, that they might not depart into the wilderness;
106 And he did support his guards out of the tribute which he did receive from the Nephites.
107 And now King Limhi did have continual peace in his kingdom, for the space of two years, that the Lamanites did not molest them nor seek to destroy them.
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.
109 And it came to pass that there was one day a small number of them gathered together to sing and to dance.
