When Corihor was thirty-two years old, he rebelled against his father and went over to the land of Nehor to live. There he had many attractive sons and daughters who drew many people away to the land of Nehor.

After Corihor had gathered an army, he went to the land of Moron and captured King Kib, his father. This act fulfilled the words of Jared's brother (which he had spoken about 100 years earlier), that having a king would lead to captivity.

The land of Moron, where King Kib lived, was near the land which the Nephites later called Desolation. Kib lived in captivity under Corihor until he was very old. In his old age, Kib had a son and named him Shule.

As Shule grew older, he was angry with his brother. Shule grew into a large, strong man and was also mighty in judgment. He went to Ephraim Hill and made steel swords from the ore he found there.

Then he armed his followers and returned to the city of Nehor. Shule and his followers gave battle to his older brother, Corihor, and restored the kingdom to his very old father, Kib.

Because of Shule's deeds, Kib bestowed the kingdom upon him. Like Orihah, his grandfather, Shule executed righteous judgment in the land. His kingdom spread all over the land as the population of the people dramatically increased.

Shule had many sons and daughters. Meanwhile, Corihor repented of the many things he had done wrong, so Shule gave him power in his kingdom.

Corihor also had many sons and daughters. Among Corihor's sons, there was one named Noah, who rebelled against his uncle Shule, and also against his father, Corihor.
