Changes

Now these are not all the sons of Pahoran, (for he had many,), but these are they whicho did contend for the judgement -seat; therefore, they did cause three divisions among the people.

Simple English

These were not all of Pahoran’s sons. He had many sons. But these three wanted to be judge. They split the people into three groups.

Paraphrase

Pahoran had other sons too, but these three were the ones who wanted the judgment seat badly enough to split the people into three factions.
