Chapter 20 verse 22: And now let us pacify the king, and we fulfil the oath which we have made unto him; for it is better that we should be in bondage than that we should lose our lives; therefore, let us put a stop to the shedding of so much blood.
Three good points here from Gideon:
1. Just because the Lamanites broke their oath doesn't mean it's ok for the Nephites to break theirs.
2. It was better for them to be in bondage than to lose their lives. I suppose it's better for us to live through a difficult situation than to stop living, mainly because we don't know when God will deliver us. We usually don't know how good our life is going to get, and it may be sooner than we think.
3. This one goes without saying.
