Ether 4:89 - Ether 4:99
89 Now Com did fight against them much; nevertheless he did not prevail against them.
90 And there came also in the days of Com many prophets, and prophesied of the destruction of that great people, except they should repent and turn unto the Lord, and forsake their murders and wickedness.
91 And it came to pass that the prophets were rejected by the people, and they fled unto Com for protection, for the people sought to destroy them; and they prophesied unto Com many things; and he was blessed in all the remainder of his days.
92 And he lived to a good old age, and begat Shiblom; and Shiblom reigned in his stead.

94 And it came to pass that the brother of Shiblom caused that all the prophets who prophesied of the destruction of the people, should be put to death;
95 And there was great calamity in all the land, for they had testified that a greater curse should come upon the land, and also upon the people, and that there should be a great destruction among them, such an one as never had been upon the face of the earth;
96 And their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land, except they should repent of their wickedness.
97 And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations; wherefore there began to be wars and contentions in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that there was a great destruction, such an one as never had been known upon the face of the earth, and all this came to pass in the days of Shiblom.
