“Which Brought to Pass the Saying of the Brother of Jared That They Would Be Brought into Captivity”

W. Cleon Skousen

In verse 4 we come upon the second major problems connected with Jaredite history and that is the fact that when a king lived a long time, with a potential longevity of around 200 years, his sons became impatient to rule and overthrew their aged father. That is what happened to Corihor, the son of Kib. When he was 32 he broke away from his father and went to the land of Nehor to build up a following. Then he came back to Moron where his father ruled as king and overthrew him.
