It is interesting that in Ether 7:17, we find that Noah “gave battle again unto Shule.” We might assume that when Noah “gave” battle “again” unto Shule, he was trying to establish power over the entire land of Moron. Apparently, from the site of the battle, Noah “carried [Shule] away captive into Moron” (Ether 7:17) with an apparent desire to not only put him to death in front of his own people (see Ether 7:18), but to put all the people in submission to his power. The sons of Shule, however, killed Noah “by night,” and then placed Shule “upon his throne in his own kingdom.” Given the textual clues, Shule apparently had been reigning from the land of Moron and Noah had been reigning from the land of Nehor.
