Ether 7
Orihah reigns in righteousness—Amid usurpation and strife, the rival kingdoms of Shule and Cohor are set up—Prophets condemn the wickedness and idolatry of the people, who then repent.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
Orihah
did
execute
judgment
upon
the
land
in
righteousness
all
his
days,
whose
days
were
exceedingly
many.
2 And
he
begat
sons
and
daughters;
yea,
he
begat
thirty
and
one,
among
whom
were
twenty
and
three
sons.
3 And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
also
begat
a
Kib
in
his
b
old
age.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
Kib
reigned
in
his
stead;
and
Kib
begat
Corihor.
4 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.
5 And
when
he
had
gathered
together
an
army
he
came
up
unto
the
land
of
a
Moron
where
the
king
dwelt,
and
took
him
captive,
which
b
brought
to
pass
the
saying
of
the
brother
of
Jared
that
they
would
be
brought
into
captivity.
6 Now
the
a
land
of
Moron,
where
the
king
dwelt,
was
near
the
land
which
is
called
Desolation
by
the
Nephites.
7 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Kib
dwelt
in
a
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.
8 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.
9 Wherefore,
he
came
to
the
hill
Ephraim,
and
he
did
molten
out
of
the
hill,
and
made
swords
out
of
a
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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Shule
also
begat
many
sons
and
daughters.
13 And
Corihor
repented
of
the
many
evils
which
he
had
done;
wherefore
Shule
gave
him
power
in
his
kingdom.
14 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.
15 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.
16 And
he
gave
battle
unto
Shule,
the
king,
in
which
he
did
obtain
the
land
of
their
a
first
inheritance;
and
he
became
a
king
over
that
part
of
the
land.
17 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.
18 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.
19 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.
20 And
the
country
was
a
divided;
and
there
were
two
kingdoms,
the
kingdom
of
Shule,
and
the
kingdom
of
Cohor,
the
son
of
Noah.
21 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.
22 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.
23 And
also
in
the
reign
of
Shule
there
came
a
prophets
among
the
people,
who
were
sent
from
the
Lord,
prophesying
that
the
wickedness
and
b
idolatry
of
the
people
was
bringing
a
curse
upon
the
land,
and
they
should
be
destroyed
if
they
did
not
repent.
24 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
people
did
a
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.
25 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.
26 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
a
begat
sons
and
daughters
in
his
old
age.
27 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
a
across
the
great
deep
into
the
promised
land;
wherefore
he
did
execute
judgment
in
righteousness
all
his
days.
