7:4 - "...And when Corihor was thirty and two years old he rebelled against his father..."
This was only the third generation of kings of the Jaredites - and already there started to be problems. The brother of Jared knew what he was talking about (Ether 6:23).
7:25-26 - "...And he did execute a law throughout all the land, which gave power unto the prophets that they should go whithersoever they would..."
The righteous king executed a law that allowed prophets to go where they wanted. It helped the people to repent and the Lord spared them. Such is the influence of a righteous king.
7:25-27 - "...he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days..."
An effect of faith and acting in faith is that it influences those around you and encourages them to have faith too. It also helps them to live in more righteousness.
