61 And he did make war against the king of the land, by which he did obtain unto himself the kingdom.

62 And after he had obtained unto himself the kingdom, he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; and the people did prosper in the land, and he did live to a good old age, and begat sons and daughters; and he also begat Corom, whom he anointed king in his stead.

63 And it came to pass that Corom did that which was good in the sight of the Lord, all his days; and he begat many sons and daughters; and after he had seen many days, he did pass away, even like unto the rest of the earth; and Kish reigned in his stead.

64 And it came to pass that Kish passed away also, and Lib reigned in his stead.

65 And it came to pass that Lib also did that which was good in the sight of the Lord.

66 And in the days of Lib the poisonous serpents were destroyed; wherefore they did go into the land southward, to hunt food for the people of the land; for the land was covered with animals of the forest.

67 And Lib also himself became a great hunter.

68 And they built a great city by the narrow neck of land, by the place where the sea divides the land.

69 And they did preserve the land southward for a wilderness, to get game.

70 And the whole face of the land northward was covered with inhabitants; and they were exceeding industrious, and they did buy and sell, and traffic one with another, that they might get gain.

71 And they did work in all manner of ore, and they did make gold, and silver, and iron, and brass, and all manner of metals; and they did dig it out of the earth; wherefore they did cast up mighty heaps of earth to get ore, of gold, and of silver, and of iron, and of copper.
