RLDS Verse Context

51 And it came to pass that Corihor had many sons and daughters.

52 And among the sons of Corihor there was one whose name was Noah.

53 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.

54 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.

55 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.

56 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; wherefore the son of Noah did build up his kingdom in his stead;

57 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.

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

59 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.

60 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;

61 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.
