Ether 7:25 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.

Ether 7:26 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 begat sons and
daughters in his old age.

Ether 7:27 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 across the great deep into the promised land; wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days.

Ether 8
Chapter 8

Ether 8:1 1 And it came to pass that he begat Omer, and Omer reigned in
his stead.  And Omer begat Jared; and Jared begat sons and
daughters.

Ether 8:2 2 And Jared rebelled against his father, and came and dwelt in
the land of Heth.  And it came to pass that he did flatter many
people, because of his cunning words, until he had gained the
half of the kingdom.

Ether 8:3 3 And when he had gained the half of the kingdom he gave battle
unto his father, and he did carry away his father into captivity,
and did make him serve in captivity;

Ether 8:4 4 And now, in the days of the reigns of Omer he was in captivity
the half of his days.  And it came to pass that he begat sons and
daughters among whom were Esrom and Coriantumr;

Ether 8:5 5 And they were exceedingly angry because of the doings of Jared
their brother, insomuch that they did raise an army and gave
battle unto Jared.  And it came to pass that they did give battle
unto him by night.

Ether 8:6 6 And it came to pass that when they had slain the army of Jared they were about to slay him also; and he plead with them that they would not slay him, and he would give up the kingdom unto his father.  And it came to pass that they did grant unto him his life.

Ether 8:7 7 And now Jared became exceedingly sorrowful because of the loss
of the kingdom, for he had set his heart upon the kingdom and
upon the glory of the world.

Ether 8:8 8 Now the daughter of Jared being exceedingly expert, and seeing
the sorrows of her father, thought to devise a plan whereby she
could redeem the kingdom unto her father.

Ether 8:9 9 Now the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair.  And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto him:  Whereby hath my father so much sorrow?  Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep?  Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?

Ether 8:10 10 And now, therefore, let my father send for Akish, the son of Kimnor; and behold, I am fair, and I will dance before him, and I will please him, that he will desire me to wife; wherefore if he shall desire of thee that ye shall give unto him me to wife, then shall ye say:  I will give her if ye will bring unto me the head of my father, the king.
