The next interesting piece of information is in Chapter II and concerns a flood that God sent.
This isn't the Flood but rather it was a flood before that one. This flood only covered a third of the Earth.

II
6
And the Lord caused the waters of the river Gihon
to overwhelm them, and he destroyed and consumed them, and He
destroyed the third part of the earth, and notwithstanding this,
the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and their
hands were yet extended to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
The Great Flood was prophised about by Enoch's son Cainan.
Enosh was Seth's son who in turn was the third son of Adam and Eve. This is mentioned in
Chapter II verses 11-13 which reads:

11
And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old,
and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom,
and he reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons
of men to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man
and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he
ruled over spirits and demons;
12
And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God would
destroy the sons of men for having sinned upon earth, and that
the Lord would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood.
13
And in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone,
what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures.
The next interesting snippet is that in 'those' days the people
sinned by essentially using birth control. This is mentioned in Chapter II
Verses 19-20. It reads:

19
For in those days the sons of men began to trespass against God,
and to transgress the commandments which He had
commanded to Adam, to be fruitful and multiply in the earth.
20
And some of the sons of men caused their wives to drink
a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might
retain their figures and whereby their beautiful appearance might not fade.
Later in the same chapter it is mentioned how Cain died. He was apparently shot with arrows by
Lamech. Lamech was the sixth generation of Cain. Lamech was told by his son, Tubal Cain, to shoot at Cain, who they
thought was just an animal. Lamech was so angered at his son Tubal Cain for having him shoot at Cain that he
killed him by 'clapping his hands'. Chapter II
Verses 26-31 reads:

26
And Lamech was old and advanced in years, and his eyes were
dim that he could not see, and Tubal Cain, his son, was leading him and it
was one day that Lamech went into the field and Tubal Cain his son was with
him, and whilst they were walking in the field, Cain the son of Adam
advanced towards them; for Lamech was very old and could not see much,
and Tubal Cain his son was very young.
27
And Tubal Cain told his father to draw his bow, and with
the arrows he smote Cain, who was yet far off, and he slew him, for he
appeared to them to be an animal.
28
And the arrows entered Cain's body although he was
distant from them, and he fell to the ground and died.
29
And the Lord requited Cain's evil according to his wickedness,
which he had done to his brother Abel, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
30
And it came to pass when Cain had died, that Lamech and
Tubal went to see the animal which they had slain, and they saw, and
behold Cain their grandfather was fallen dead upon the earth.
31
And Lamech was very much grieved at having done
this, and in clapping his hands together he struck his son
and caused his death.
