Ether 4:78 - Ether 4:88
78 And never could be a people more blessed than were they, and more prospered by the hand of the Lord.
79 And they were in a land that was choice above all lands, for the Lord had spoken it.
80 And it came to pass that Lib did live many years, and begat sons and daughters; and he also begat Hearthom.
81 And it came to pass that Hearthom reigned in the stead of his father.
82 And when Hearthom had reigned twenty and four years, behold the kingdom was taken away from him.
83 And he served many years in captivity; yea, even all the remainder of his days.
84 And he begat Heth, and Heth lived in captivity all his days.
85 And Heth begat Aaron, and Aaron dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Amnigaddah, and Amnigaddah also dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Coriantum, and Coriantum dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Com.
86 And it came to pass that Com drew away the half of the kingdom.
87 And he reigned over the half of the kingdom forty and two years: and he went to battle against the king Amgid, and they fought for the space of many years, during which time Com gained power over Amgid, and obtained power over the remainder of the kingdom.
88 And in the days of Com there began to be robbers in the land; and they adopted the old plans, and administered oaths after the manner of the ancients, and sought again to destroy the kingdom.
