After the battle wounds from the previous encounters with Shiz, Coriantumr has a realization that Ether's words were true since 2 million people had been slain, and he has a desire to repent and stop the blood shed so he wrote to Shiz (v1-4). When Shiz read that he could be king over all the people, he wrote back that his only desire was to slay Coriantumr, but the whole of the people were not repenting and were angry with each other so they attacked (v5-6). Coriantumr fled and there was one more battle near a great body of water that happened before they stopped fighting for 4 years to recruiter anyone and everyone left in the land (except Ether) to fight for their cause (v7-14).
Now that every man, woman, and child were ready for war the 8 day final battle begins with the first two days fought with no success but great mourning at night for the lost people (v15-17). Coriantumr writes to Shiz wanting this to stop, but there was no reasoning anymore because no one fighting had the spirit of The Lord with them (v18-19). Now 3 more days of straight fighting continued until Coriantumr had only 52 people left and Shiz had 69 (v20-23).
After the 6th day of none stop fighting, 32 were left with Shiz and Coriantumr had 27, so they prepared for death on the morrow (v24-26). Everyone fainted from loss of blood after 3 hours so when Coriantumr and his men woke they fled but Shiz awoke too and pursued catching them then next day, and after that last fight only Shiz, who faints from blood loss, and Coriantumr were alive (v27-29). Coriantumr smote off Shiz's head then fainted and died, and at that point Ether came out to witness the destruction and finish his record similar to Moroni who was the last left alive of his people (v30-34).
