Ère jaredite

Les règnes de Kim, le frère de Kim, Levi, Corom et Kish.

Ether 10:13–14

Le fils de Morianton, Kim, finit par prendre la place de roi de Morianton, règne méchamment, et est renversé par son frère ; pendant sa captivité, Kim a un fils nommé Lévi.

And Morianton did live to an exceedingly great age, and then he begat Kim; and Kim did reign in the stead of his father; and he did reign eight years, and his father died. And it came to pass that Kim did not reign in righteousness, wherefore he was not favored of the Lord. And his brother did rise up in rebellion against him, by which he did bring him into captivity; and he did remain in captivity all his days; and he begat sons and daughters in captivity, and in his old age he begat Levi; and he died.

Ether 10:15

Kim meurt ; Lévi se révolte contre son oncle et réussit à reprendre le royaume.

And it came to pass that Levi did serve in captivity after the death of his father, for the space of forty and two years. And he did make war against the king of the land, by which he did obtain unto himself the kingdom.

Ether 10:16

Lévi règne avec justice et prospérité, et son fils Corom lui succède comme roi.

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.

Ether 10:17

Corom règne aussi justement, et il désigne son fils Kish pour être le prochain roi.

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.
