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."

29 And it came to pass that they chose even the firstborn of the brother of Jared, And his name was Pagag.

30 And it came to pass that he refused and would not be their king;

31 And the people would that his father should constrain him, But his father would not; And he commanded them that they should not constrain any man to be their king.

32 And it came to pass that they chose all the brothers of Pagag, And they would not.

33 And it came to pass that neither would the sons of Jared, even all, save it were one; And Orihah, he was anointed to be king over the people;

34 And he began to reign, And the people began to prosper, And they became exceeding rich.

35 And it came to pass that Jared died, and his brother also.
