Ether 11:4

...

And the brother of Shiblom rebelled against him,

and there began to be an exceedingly great war in all the land.

Ether 11:5

And it came to pass that the brother of Shiblom caused

that all the prophets who prophesied of the destruction of the people

should be put to death;

Ether 11:6

And there was great calamity in all the land,

for they had testified that a great curse should come upon the land,

and also upon the people,

and that there should be a great destruction among them,

such an one as never had been upon the face of the earth,

and their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land

except they should repent of their wickedness.

Ether 11:7

And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord,

because of their wicked combinations;

wherefore, there began to be wars and contentions in all the land,

and also many famines and pestilences,

insomuch that there was a great destruction,

such an one as never had been known upon the face of the earth;

and all this came to pass in the days of Shiblom.

Ether 11:8

And the people began to repent of their iniquity;

and inasmuch as they did the Lord did have mercy on them.
