EtherChapter7
And it came to pass that Orihah did execute judgment upon the land in righteousness all his days, whose days were exceedingly many.
And he begat sons and daughters; yea, he begat thirty and one, among whom were twenty and three sons.
And it came to pass that he also begat Kib in his old age. And it came to pass that Kib reigned in his stead; and Kib begat Corihor.
And when Corihor was thirty and two years old he rebelled against his father, and went over and dwelt in the land of Nehor; and he begat sons and daughters, and they became exceedingly fair; wherefore Corihor drew away many people after him.
And when he had gathered together an army he came up unto the land of Moron where the king dwelt, and took him captive, which brought to pass the saying of the brother of Jared that they would be brought into captivity.
Now the land of Moron, where the king dwelt, was near the land which is called Desolation by the Nephites.
And it came to pass that Kib dwelt in captivity, and his people under Corihor his son, until he became exceedingly old; nevertheless Kib begat Shule in his old age, while he was yet in captivity.
And it came to pass that Shule was angry with his brother; and Shule waxed strong, and became mighty as to the strength of a man; and he was also mighty in judgment.
Wherefore, he came to the hill Ephraim, and he did molten out of the hill, and made swords out of steel for those whom he had drawn away with him; and after he had armed them with swords he returned to the city Nehor and gave battle unto his brother Corihor, by which means he obtained the kingdom and restored it unto his father Kib.
And now because of the thing which Shule had done, his father bestowed upon him the kingdom; therefore he began to reign in the stead of his father.
And it came to pass that he did execute judgment in righteousness; and he did spread his kingdom upon all the face of the land, for the people had become exceedingly numerous.
And it came to pass that Shule also begat many sons and daughters.
And Corihor repented of the many evils which he had done; wherefore Shule gave him power in his kingdom.
And it came to pass that Corihor had many sons and daughters. And among the sons of Corihor there was one whose name was Noah.
And it came to pass that Noah rebelled against Shule, the king, and also his father Corihor, and drew away Cohor his brother, and also all his brethren and many of the people.
And he gave battle unto Shule the king, in which he did obtain the land of their first inheritance; and he became a king over that part of the land.
And it came to pass that he gave battle again unto Shule, the king; and he took Shule, the king, and carried him away captive into Moron.
And it came to pass as he was about to put him to death, the sons of Shule crept into the house of Noah by night and slew him, and broke down the door of the prison and brought out their father, and placed him upon his throne in his own kingdom.
Wherefore, the son of Noah did build up his kingdom in his stead; nevertheless they did not gain power any more over Shule the king, and the people who were under the reign of Shule the king did prosper exceedingly and wax great.
And the country was divided; and there were two kingdoms, the kingdom of Shule, and the kingdom of Cohor, the son of Noah.
And Cohor, the son of Noah, caused that his people should give battle unto Shule, in which Shule did beat them and did slay Cohor.
And now Cohor had a son who was called Nimrod; and Nimrod gave up the kingdom of Cohor unto Shule, and he did gain favor in the eyes of Shule; wherefore Shule did bestow great favors upon him, and he did do in the kingdom of Shule according to his desires.
And also in the reign of Shule there came prophets among the people, who were sent from the Lord, prophesying that the wickedness and idolatry of the people was bringing a curse upon the land, and they should be destroyed if they did not repent.
And it came to pass that the people did revile against the prophets, and did mock them. And it came to pass that king Shule did execute judgment against all those who did revile against the prophets.
And he did execute a law throughout all the land, which gave power unto the prophets that they should go whithersoever they would; and by this cause the people were brought unto repentance.
And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper again in the land. And it came to pass that Shule begat sons and daughters in his old age.
And there were no more wars in the days of Shule; and he remembered the great things that the Lord had done for his fathers in bringing them across the great deep into the promised land; wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days.
Orihah ruled the land with justice all his days, and he lived a very long life. He had sons and daughters, thirty-one in all, twenty-three of them sons. In his old age, he also had Kib. Kib reigned in his place, and he had Corihor.
When Corihor was thirty-two years old, he rebelled against his father and went to live in the land of Nehor. He had sons and daughters, and they grew very beautiful, so he drew many people away after him. After he had gathered an army, he went to the land of Moron, where the king lived, and took him captive. This fulfilled the brother of Jared's warning that they would be led into captivity. Now this land, where the king lived, was near the land the Nephites call Desolation. So Kib lived in captivity, and his people with him under his son Corihor, until he grew very old. Even so, Kib had Shule in his old age, while he was still a captive.
Shule was angry with his brother. He grew strong, powerful in body, and he was powerful in judgment as well. So he went to the hill Ephraim, smelted ore out of the hill, and made steel swords for those he had drawn away with him. After he had armed them, he returned to the city of Nehor and fought his brother Corihor. That is how he won the kingdom and restored it to his father Kib. Because of what he had done, his father gave him the kingdom, so he began reigning in his father's place.
He ruled with justice and spread his kingdom across the whole face of the land because the people had grown very numerous. Shule also had many sons and daughters. Corihor repented of the many evils he had done, so Shule gave him power in his kingdom. Corihor had many sons and daughters, and one of his sons was named Noah.
Noah rebelled against King Shule and his own father Corihor, and he drew away his brother Cohor, along with all his brothers and many of the people. He fought Shule and took the land of their first inheritance, and he became king over that part of the land. He fought Shule again, captured him, and carried him away captive to Moron. As he was about to put him to death, Shule's sons crept into Noah's house by night and killed him. They broke down the prison door, brought out their father, and set him on his throne in his own kingdom. So Noah's son built up the kingdom in his father's place. Even so, they never gained power over Shule again, and the people under Shule's reign prospered greatly and grew powerful. The country was divided into two kingdoms: Shule's kingdom and the kingdom of Cohor, Noah's son.
Cohor sent his people to fight Shule, and in that battle Shule beat them and killed Cohor. Now Cohor had a son named Nimrod, and Nimrod gave up his father's kingdom to Shule. He won Shule's favor, so Shule granted him great favors, and he did whatever he wanted in Shule's kingdom.
Also in Shule's reign, prophets came among the people, sent from the Lord, prophesying that the people's wickedness and idolatry were bringing a curse on the land, and that they would be destroyed unless they repented. The people insulted the prophets and mocked them. King Shule punished everyone who insulted them. He put a law in force throughout the whole land giving the prophets the right to go wherever they wanted, and this brought the people to repentance. Because the people repented of their sins and idolatry, the Lord spared them, and they began prospering again in the land. In his old age, Shule had sons and daughters.
There were no more wars in Shule's days. He remembered the great things the Lord had done for his fathers, bringing them across the great deep into the promised land, and so he ruled with justice all his days.
