When Heth was king the people were so wicked that the Lord sent poisonous serpents to nearly wipe them out. It wasn’t until these for righteous kinds reigned in succession that the people were far enough removed from wickedness that the Lord removed the serpents from guarding the land southward where their flicks had been driven. We aren’t told explicitly that Kish was righteous but we are told that each of the other three was so I assume that he was at least moderately righteous and the people under him were basically righteous.
