Morianton lived a very long time and then had a son, Kim, who reigned for eight years prior to his father's death. Kim did not reign in righteousness, so he was not favored of the Lord.
Kim's brother rebelled against him and brought him into captivity, where he remained for the rest of his life. Kim had sons and daughters in captivity. In his old age he had Levi and then he died.
Levi served in captivity for forty-two years and then made war against his uncle, the king of the land, and obtained the kingdom for himself.
Levi did what was right in the sight of the Lord and the people prospered in the land. He lived to a good old age and had sons and daughters. He anointed his son, Corom, to be the next king.
Corom also did what was good in the sight of the Lord all his life. He had many sons and daughters and also lived a long life. Kish then reigned in his place.
After Kish passed away, Lib reigned in his place. Lib also did what was good in the sight of the Lord.
During Lib's lifetime the poisonous snakes were destroyed. Then the people went to the southern land again to hunt for food.
The southern land was full of animals of the forest, and Lib became a great hunter. His people built a great city near the narrow neck, where the sea divides the land.
Lib's people preserved the southern land as a game wilderness for hunting, while the whole northern land was covered with people. They were very industrious, buying and selling from one another in order to profit.
