Shez the Elder walks in the way of the Lord, and is therefore fulfilling the promise of the land. After the drought and the diminishing of the population (and perhaps the abandonment of some cities, such as San Lorenzo) there is a resurgence of the population and the building process under Shez the Elder.
Chronology: The average-reign chronology places the reign of Shez the Elder between 830 and 800 B.C.
