91 Moroni now continues with his story, but he forgets to tell us what happened with the "bring me the head of my father" episode. I guess Omer kept his head, but he lost his kingdom because of those secret combinations.
3 The Lord told Omer in a dream to leave, so he and his family traveled past the hill of Shim (near Hill Cumorah in what is now Manchester, New York), and continued on to the east coast.
4 So it looks like Akish got Jared's daughter after all, the one that pleased him so much when she danced for him in the last chapter. He just didn't have to pay for it with Omer's head.
5-6 After Akish married Jared's daughter, he became king by cutting off Jared's head, with a little help from his secret society friends.
7 King Akish then became jealous of his son, so he starved him to death in prison.
8-9 One of Akish's other sons (Nimrah) became angry at Akish for starving to death his brother. So he and his friends left to hang out with Omer.
Akish had other sons, who grew up to be bad boys, buying the hearts of the people with money. Eventually they went to war with their father, a war that lasted many years and killed everyone in the land except for thirty people, who fled to Omer's house.
13-15 After the war, Omer became king again. He grew old, had another son (Emer), whom he chose to replace him as king. Then he died.
6-20 After Emer became king, God stopped cursing the land, and everything was perfect for 62 years. The people all became filthy rich, with silk and all kinds of farm animals that didn't exist in the New World at the time -- cows, oxen, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys, and elephants (even some cureloms and cumoms). God blessed the land, which he liked better than all other lands on earth. But he warned everyone that if they misbehave in some way, he'll murder them all.
21-22 Emer was a completely righteous king, who had many sons and daughters. He chose one of his sons, Coriantum, to replace him as king. Before he died, Emer even saw the Son of Righteousness, which I suppose is supposed to be Jesus, 1800 or so years before Jesus was born.
23-24 Coriantum was a perfect king, just like his dad. He lived to be 142 years old.
25-27 Coriantum's son Com became the next king. Com reigned for 49 years and begat Heth, who became king by murdering his father after embracing the secret plans of old.
28-29 Prophets began to warn people that if they didn't repent, God would curse the land and kill them in a great famine. But the people didn't believe them. They cast the prophets into pits and left them to die, as they were told to do by King Heth.
30 So God began to kill people with a drought.
31 As the people were dying exceedingly fast in the drought, God sent poisonous snakes to finish them off.
34-35 The people who were dying from God's famine ate all of the people who were killed by God's poisonous snakes. The people who survived God's famine and snakes knew that God would soon kill them too. So they cried to the Lord. When they had groveled enough to satisfy him, God stopped killing them with the famine and poisonous snakes.
101 King Heth died in God's famine; his only surviving descendent, Shez, became the next king. 2-4 Shez walked in the ways of the Lord, but his oldest son (also named Shez) rebelled against him. Fortunately for King Shez, robbers killed Shez Jr., restoring peace to his kingdom. King Shez built many cities and the people spread over the face of the land. When King Shez was exceedingly old, he had a son named Riplakish, who replaced him as king. 5 King Riplakish had many wives and concubines (which was not right in the sight of the Lord) and he imposed heavy taxes on the people. 6-8 King Riplakish built himself a fancy throne that he paid for with taxes. Whoever refused to pay taxes was thrown into prison, and any prisoner that refused to work was killed. Riplakish reigned for 42 years, afflicting everyone with his whoredoms and abominations. The people finally rebelled, and Riplakish was killed in the resulting war.
9-12 After a war that lasted many years, Morianton (a descendant of Riplakish) became king. Although the people liked him and he treated them well, he was cut off from the presence of the Lord because of his many whoredoms. During his reign the people built many cities and became exceedingly rich.
13-16 Morianton lived to an exceedingly great age and then begat Kim, who replaced him as king. Kim's brother rebelled against him and put Kim in captivity, where he remained for the rest of his life. In his old age he begat Levi, who remained in captivity for 42 years. Then he went to war and became king. Levi did right in the sight of the Lord and the people prospered. He lived to a good old age and begat Corom, who became the next king.
17-18 Corom did things that were good in the eyes of the Lord. Then he died and Kish became king. Then Kish died and was replaced with Lib. The story doesn't say where Kish and Lib came from.
19 Lib did good in the sight of the Lord and the poisonous serpents were removed. (These are the ones that God sent in the last chapter to punish the people. Those that died from getting bit by God's poisonous serpents were eaten by whoever managed to survive God's famine and poisonous snakes. I guess God's poisonous serpents were still biting people for the last six generations or so.)
20-21 Lib and his people built a great city in the narrow neck of land (modern-day Panama). They made South America into a game preserve and covered the whole face of North America with people.
23-27 The people of Lib had silk clothes and tools and weapons made from iron and brass with exceedingly curious workmanship.
28 There never was and never will be a people more blessed than Lib's people. They lived on the best land on earth, according to God anyway.
29-31 King Lib lived for many years and begat Hearthom. Hearthom was king for 20 years and then his kingdom was taken away from him. The rest of his life was spent in captivity. Hearthom begat Heth, who begat Aaron, who begat Amnigaddah, who begat Coriantum, who begat Com. All of these guys were kings who reigned in captivity (whatever that means).
