Shule Gave Corihor Power in His Kingdom

Alan C. Miner

In Ether 7:9 it states that Shule "gave battle unto his brother Corihor, by which means he obtained the kingdom and restored it unto his father Kib." Kib then turned around and "bestowed upon [Shule] the kingdom" (Ether 7:10). Nothing is said of whether Corihor was taken captive, just that apparently after a number of years (see v. 12), "Corihor repented" and Shule "gave him power in his kingdom" (Ether 7:13). Thus, we might surmise that Corihor once again "reigned" (under Shule) over the people in the land of Nehor. We might also conclude that the land of Nehor, at this time, was considered a province of an "expanded" land of Moron. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes] [See Geographical Theory Maps]
