59 And Cohor, the son of Noah, caused that his people should give battle unto Shule, in which Shule did beat them, and did slay Cohor.

60 And now Cohor had a son who was called Nimrod; and Nimrod gave up the kingdom of Cohor unto Shule, and he did gain favor in the eyes of Shule: wherefore Shule did bestow great favors upon him, and he did do in the kingdom of Shule according to his desires;

61 And also in the reign of Shule there came prophets among the people, who were sent from the Lord, prophesying that the wickedness and idolatry of the people was bringing a curse upon the land, and they should be destroyed, if they did not repent.

62 And it came to pass that the people did revile against the prophets, and did mock them.

63 And it came to pass that King Shule did execute judgment against all those who did revile against the prophets; and he did execute a law throughout all the land, which gave power unto the prophets that they should go whithersoever they would; and by this cause the people were brought unto repentance.

64 And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries, the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper again in the land.

65 And it came to pass that Shule begat sons and daughters in his old age.

66 And there were no more wars in the days of Shule; and he remembered the great things that the Lord had done for his fathers in bringing them across the great deep into the promised land; wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days.

67 And it came to pass that he begat Omer, and Omer reigned in his stead.

68 And Omer begat Jared; and Jared begat sons and daughters.

69 And Jared rebelled against his father, and came and dwelt in the land of Heth.
