Ether 7:1 1 And it came to pass that Orihah did
execute judgment upon the
land in righteousness all his days, whose days were
exceedingly
many.
Ether 7:2 2 And he begat sons and daughters; yea,
he begat thirty and one,
among whom were twenty and three sons.
Ether 7:3 3 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.
Ether 7:4 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.
Ether 7:5 5 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.
Ether 7:6 6 Now the land of Moron, where the king
dwelt, was near the land
which is called Desolation by the Nephites.
Ether 7:7 7 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.
Ether 7:8 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.
Ether 7:9 9 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.
