- Coriantumr, recovering from his wounds, remembers the prophesies of Ether; seeing the millions of people dead on his account, he beings to repent.
- Coriantumr writes Shiz a letter asking him to surrender to prevent more lost of life—Shiz replies and says that if Coriantumr offers his life up to Shiz, Shiz would spare the people.
- Seeing this reply, Coriantumr is furious, and begins to prepare for an attack on Shiz.
- Coriantumr and Shiz bring their armies near the waters of Ripliancum, and engage in a battle—Coriantumr is again wounded, and faints due to blood loss.
- Even so, Coriantumr’s army drives Shiz’s forces southward, to a place called Ogath; Coriantumr’s troops set up camp near a hill called Ramah.
- For four years the Jaredites all gather together, and join either Coriantumr’s side or Shiz’s side; meanwhile, Ether looks on from a distance.
