18 And the friends of Jared and his brother were in number about twenty and two souls, And they also begat sons and daughters before they came to the Promised Land; And therefore, they began to be many.

19 And they were taught to walk humbly before the Lord; And they were also taught from on high.

20 And it came to pass that they began to spread upon the face of the land and to multiply and to till the earth, And they did wax strong in the land;

21 And the brother of Jared began to be old and saw that he must soon go down to the grave, Wherefore, he saith unto Jared: "Let us gather together our people, that we may number them, That we may know of them what they will desire of us before we go down to our graves."

22 And accordingly the people were gathered together.

23 Now the number of the sons and the daughters of the brother of Jared were twenty and two souls; And the number of the sons and daughters of Jared were twelve, he having four sons.

24 And it came to pass that they did number their people; And after that they had numbered them, they did desire of them the things which they would that they should do before they went down to their graves.

25 And it came to pass that the people desired of them that they should anoint one of their sons to be a king over them.

26 And now behold, this was grievous unto them;

27 But the brother of Jared said unto them: "Surely, this thing leadeth into captivity."

28 But Jared said unto his brother: "Suffer them that they may have a king." And therefore, he said unto them: "Choose ye out from among our sons a king, even whom ye will."
