Noah drew away Cohor, his brother, all his other brethren, and many other people. Noah and his followers gave battle to King Shule and obtained the land of their first inheritance.
Noah became a king over that part of the land. Seeking even more power, Noah again gave battle to King Shule, and took him captive to Moron.
Noah was about to kill his uncle Shule, but Shule’s sons crept into Noah's house at night and killed him. Then they broke down the prison door, rescued their father, and returned him to his throne in his own kingdom.
But Noah's son, Cohor, built up his father's kingdom in his place. However, he did not gain power over King Shule, whose people prospered and became very great.
Now the country had been divided into two kingdoms—the kingdom of Shule and the kingdom of Cohor. When Cohor and his people attacked Shule's kingdom, his people were defeated, and he was killed in battle. Then Cohor's son, Nimrod, gave up his father's kingdom to Shule.
Nimrod gained favor in the eyes of his great-great-uncle, Shule, who bestowed great favors and freedom upon him. As Shule reigned, the Lord sent prophets among the people, who prophesied that the wickedness and idolatry of the people was bringing a curse upon the land, and that they would be destroyed if they did not repent.
The people reviled against and mocked the prophets, but King Shule punished all those who did this. He passed a law throughout the land that allowed the prophets to go wherever they desired, calling the people to repentance.
