59 And his brother did raise up in rebellion against him, by which he did bring him into captivity; and he did remain in captivity all his days; and he begat sons and daughters in captivity; and in his old age he begat Levi, and he died.

60 And it came to pass that Levi did serve in captivity after the death of his father, for the space of forty and two years.

61 And he did make war against the king of the land, by which he did obtain unto himself the kingdom.

62 And after he had obtained unto himself the kingdom, he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; and the people did prosper in the land, and he did live to a good old age, and begat sons and daughters; and he also begat Corom, whom he anointed king in his stead.

63 And it came to pass that Corom did that which was good in the sight of the Lord, all his days; and he begat many sons and daughters; and after he had seen many days, he did pass away, even like unto the rest of the earth; and Kish reigned in his stead.

64 And it came to pass that Kish passed away also, and Lib reigned in his stead.

65 And it came to pass that Lib also did that which was good in the sight of the Lord.

66 And in the days of Lib the poisonous serpents were destroyed; wherefore they did go into the land southward, to hunt food for the people of the land; for the land was covered with animals of the forest.

67 And Lib also himself became a great hunter.

68 And they built a great city by the narrow neck of land, by the place where the sea divides the land.

69 And they did preserve the land southward for a wilderness, to get game.
