Ether 6:18 - Ether 6:28
18 But he repented not, neither his fair sons nor daughters; neither the fair sons and daughters of Cohor; neither the fair sons and daughters of Corihor; and in fine, there was none of the fair sons and daughters upon the face of the whole earth, who repented of their sins;
19 Wherefore it came to pass that in the first year that Ether dwelt in the cavity of a rock, there were many people who were slain by the sword of those secret combinations fighting against Coriantumr, that they might obtain the kingdom.
20 And it came to pass that the sons of Coriantumr fought much and bled much.
21 And in the second year, the word of the Lord came to Ether, that he should go and prophesy unto Coriantumr, that if he would repent, and all his household, the Lord would give unto him his kingdom, and spare the people,
22 Otherwise they should be destroyed, and all his household, save it were himself, and he should only live to see the fulfilling of the prophecies which had been spoken concerning another people receiving the land for their inheritance;
23 And Coriantumr should receive a burial by them; and every soul should be destroyed save it were Coriantumr.
24 And it came to pass that Coriantumr repented not, neither his household, neither the people; and the wars ceased not; and they sought to kill Ether, but he fled from before them, and hid again in the cavity of the rock.
25 And it came to pass that there arose up Shared, and he also gave battle unto Coriantumr; and he did beat him, insomuch that in the third year he did bring him unto captivity.
26 And the sons of Coriantumr, in the fourth year, did beat Shared, and did obtain the kingdom again unto their father.
27 Now there began to be a war upon all the face of the land, every man with his band, fighting for that which he desired.
28 And there were robbers, and in fine, all manner of wickedness upon all the face of the land.
