Mosiah 19:22

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

They started to go back to the land of Nephi. On the way, they met Gideon’s men. Gideon’s men told them what happened to their wives and children. The Lamanites let them keep the land if they paid half of everything they owned.

As the men headed back toward the land of Nephi, they met Gideon’s men. Gideon’s men told them everything: their wives and children were alive, and the Lamanites had agreed to let them stay in the land—as long as they paid tribute of half their possessions.
