Ether 7

And it came to pass that Orihah did execute judgment upon the land in righteousness all his days, whose days were exceedingly many.

Orihah ruled the land with justice all his days, and he lived a very long life.

And he begat sons and daughters; yea, he begat thirty and one, among whom were twenty and three sons.

He had sons and daughters — thirty-one children in all, twenty-three of them 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.

In his old age he had Kib as well. Kib became king after him, and Kib had a son named 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.

When Corihor was thirty-two years old, he rebelled against his father and went over to live in the land of Nehor. He had sons and daughters there, and they grew very beautiful, so Corihor drew many people away 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.

When he had gathered an army, he came up to the land of Moron, where the king lived, and took him captive. That fulfilled what the brother of Jared had said: 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.

Now the land of Moron, where the king lived, was near the land the Nephites call Desolation.

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.

So Kib lived in captivity, and his people with him, under his son Corihor, until he was very old. Even so, in his old age, while he was still a captive, Kib had a son named Shule.

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.

Shule was angry with his brother. He grew up strong, with the strength of a powerful man, and he was sound in judgment as well.

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.

So he went to the hill Ephraim, and he smelted metal out of the hill and made steel swords for the men he had drawn away with him. Once he had armed them with swords, he returned to the city of Nehor and gave battle to his brother Corihor. That was how he won the kingdom and gave it back to 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.

Because of what Shule had done, his father gave him the kingdom, so he began to reign in his father's place.

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.

Shule ruled with justice, and he spread his kingdom over the whole face of the land, because the people had become very numerous.

And it came to pass that Shule also begat many sons and daughters.

Shule also had many sons and daughters.

And Corihor repented of the many evils which he had done; wherefore Shule gave him power in his kingdom.

And Corihor repented of the many evils he had done, so 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.

Corihor had many sons and daughters, and one of Corihor's sons was named 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.

Noah rebelled against Shule the king, and against his own father Corihor, and he drew away his brother Cohor, and all his other brothers, 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.

He gave battle to Shule the king, and in that battle he took their first homeland, 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.

Then he gave battle to Shule the king again, and he captured Shule and carried him away as a prisoner 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.

But just as he was about to put him to death, the sons of Shule crept into Noah's house by night and killed him. Then they broke down the door of the prison, brought their father out, and set him on 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.

So Noah's son built up his kingdom in his place. Even so, they never gained power over Shule the king again, and the people under Shule's reign prospered greatly and grew strong.

And the country was divided; and there were two kingdoms, the kingdom of Shule, and the kingdom of Cohor, the son of Noah.

And the country was divided. 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.

Cohor, the son of Noah, made his people give battle to Shule, and Shule beat them and killed 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.

Now Cohor had a son named Nimrod, and Nimrod gave up the kingdom of Cohor to Shule. He found favor with Shule, so Shule granted him great favors, and he did whatever he wanted in Shule's kingdom.

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.

Also, during Shule's reign, prophets came among the people, sent from the Lord. They prophesied that the wickedness and idolatry of the people was bringing a curse on the land, and that the people would 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.

But the people insulted the prophets and mocked them. So king Shule brought judgment against everyone who insulted 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 he put a law in force throughout the whole land that gave the prophets the right to go wherever they wanted, and because of this the people were brought to 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.

Because the people repented of their sins and their idolatry, the Lord spared them, and they began to prosper again in the land. And in his old age Shule had sons and daughters.

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.

There were no more wars in the days of Shule. He remembered the great things the Lord had done for his fathers in bringing them across the great deep into the promised land, and so he ruled with justice all his days.
