Ether 14:16 16 And when he had come to the plains of Agosh he gave battle unto Lib, and he smote upon him until he died; nevertheless, the brother of Lib did come against Coriantumr in the stead thereof, and the battle became exceedingly sore, in the which Coriantumr fled again before the army of the brother of Lib.
Ether 14:17 17 Now the name of the brother of Lib
was called Shiz. And it
came to pass that Shiz pursued after Coriantumr, and
he did
overthrow many cities, and he did slay both women
and children,
and he did burn the cities.
Ether 14:18 18 And there went a fear of Shiz throughout
all the land; yea, a
cry went forth throughout the land—Who
can stand before the army
of Shiz? Behold, he sweepeth the earth before
him!
Ether 14:19 19 And it came to pass that the people
began to flock together
in armies, throughout all the face of the land.
Ether 14:20 20 And they were divided; and a part
of them fled to the army of
Shiz, and a part of them fled to the army of Coriantumr.
Ether 14:21 21 And so great and lasting had been
the war, and so long had
been the scene of bloodshed and carnage, that the
whole face of
the land was covered with the bodies of the dead.
Ether 14:22 22 And so swift and speedy was the war that there was none left to bury the dead, but they did march forth from the shedding of blood to the shedding of blood, leaving the bodies of both men, women, and children strewed upon the face of the land, to become a prey to the worms of the flesh.
Ether 14:23 23 And the scent thereof went forth
upon the face of the land,
even upon all the face of the land; wherefore the
people became
troubled by day and by night, because of the scent
thereof.
Ether 14:24 24 Nevertheless, Shiz did not cease
to pursue Coriantumr; for he
had sworn to avenge himself upon Coriantumr of the
blood of his
brother, who had been slain, and the word of the Lord
which came
to Ether that Coriantumr should not fall by the sword.
Ether 14:25 25 And thus we see that the Lord did
visit them in the fulness
of his wrath, and their wickedness and abominations
had prepared
a way for their everlasting destruction.
Ether 14:26 26 And it came to pass that Shiz did
pursue Coriantumr eastward,
even to the borders by the seashore, and there he
gave battle
unto Shiz for the space of three days.
Ether 14:27 27 And so terrible was the destruction among the armies of Shiz that the people began to be frightened, and began to flee before the armies of Coriantumr; and they fled to the land of Corihor, and swept off the inhabitants before them, all them that would not join them.
Ether 14:28 28 And they pitched their tents in the valley of Corihor; and Coriantumr pitched his tents in the valley of Shurr. Now the valley of Shurr was near the hill Comnor; wherefore, Coriantumr did gather his armies together upon the hill Comnor, and did sound a trumpet unto the armies of Shiz to invite them forth to battle.
