The political intrigue that is the liet motif of the Jaredite kings continues with the rebellion of Kim’s brother. What continues to be interesting is the way that the king-list ignores an usurper who sits on the throne. Levi rebels “against the king of the land,” but the king-list shows Levi as the next king after Kim. This continues to tell us that the king-list has been manipulated, and is not intended to provide accurate history. This is the modified history of a particular family line – or at least claimants to that line.
