4 And he lived to a good old age, and begat Shiblom; and Shiblom reigned in his stead. And the brother of Shiblom rebelled against him, and there began to be an exceedingly great war in all the land.

6 And there was great calamity in all the land, for they had testified that a great curse should come upon the land, and also upon the people, and that there should be a great destruction among them, such an one as never had been upon the face of the earth, and their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land except they should repent of their wickedness.
7 And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations; wherefore, there began to be wars and contentions in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that there was a great destruction, such an one as never had been known upon the face of the earth; and all this came to pass in the days of Shiblom.

12 And it came to pass that in the days of Ethem there came many prophets, and prophesied again unto the people; yea, they did prophesy that the Lord would utterly destroy them from off the face of the earth except they repented of their iniquities.
13 And it came to pass that the people hardened their hearts, and would not hearken unto their words; and the prophets mourned and withdrew from among the people.
14 And it came to pass that Ethem did execute judgment in wickedness all his days; and he begat Moron. And it came to pass that Moron did reign in his stead; and Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord.
15 And it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among the people, because of that secret combination which was built up to get power and gain; and there arose a mighty man among them in iniquity, and gave battle unto Moron, in which he did overthrow the half of the kingdom; and he did maintain the half of the kingdom for many years.

But the people rejected the prophets, and the prophets fled to Com for protection, because the people were trying to kill them.

He lived to a good old age, and he had a son named Shiblom, and Shiblom reigned in his place. But Shiblom's brother rebelled against him, and a massive war broke out across the whole land. Shiblom's brother ordered that every prophet who had prophesied the destruction of the people be put to death, and terrible suffering came over the whole land, because those prophets had testified that a great curse was coming on the land, and on the people too, and that a destruction was coming among them like nothing that had ever been on the face of the earth. Their bones would become like heaps of earth on the ground, unless they repented of their wickedness. But they would not listen to the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations. So wars and conflicts broke out across the whole land, and many famines and plagues as well, until the destruction was so terrible that nothing like it had ever been known on the face of the earth.

But the people hardened their hearts and would not listen to their words. So the prophets mourned and withdrew from among the people. Ethem handed down judgments in wickedness all his days, and he had a son named Moron. Moron reigned in his place, and Moron did what was wicked before the Lord.
A rebellion rose up among the people because of that secret combination that had been built up to gain power and wealth. And a man rose up among them, powerful in wickedness, and gave battle to Moron, and in it he overthrew half the kingdom. He held that half of the kingdom for many years. Then Moron overthrew him and won the kingdom back. But another powerful man rose up, a descendant of the brother of Jared. He overthrew Moron and took the kingdom, so Moron lived in captivity for the rest of his days. And Moron had a son named Coriantor. Coriantor lived in captivity all his days.
In the days of Coriantor many prophets came as well. They prophesied great and marvelous things, and they called the people to repentance, warning that unless the people repented, the Lord God would bring judgment against them, to their utter destruction, and that the Lord God would send or bring forth another people to possess the land, by his own power, in the same way that he had brought their fathers. But they rejected everything the prophets said, because of their secret society and their wicked abominations. Coriantor had a son named Ether, and Coriantor died, having lived in captivity all his days.
