The brother of Kim was a Jaredite who rose up in rebellion against his brother Kim, the reigning king and son of Morianton, brought Kim into captivity, and took the throne. Kim remained in captivity the rest of his days, where he fathered sons and daughters and, in his old age, a son named Levi (Ether 10:14). His own name is not given in the record.
After Kim’s death, Levi served in captivity for forty-two years, then made war against the king of the land and obtained the kingdom for himself. He may have fought the same brother who had deposed and imprisoned Kim, though the record does not say. Levi did what was right before the Lord, the people prospered, and he reigned to a good old age before passing the throne to his son Corom (Ether 10:15-16).
