View source for Shule, son of Kib

'''Shule''' is a character briefly mentioned in the [[Book of Mormon]]. Shule is the younger brother of [[Corihor]] who overthrew the kingdom of their father [[Kib]] and reigned in his stead. After being overthrown, Kib was held in captivity, where Shule was born and raised, likely in the [[land of Moron]]. While in captivity, Shule raised up an army and created arms and steel molten out of the [[Hill Ephraim]]. His army then overthrew [[Corihor]] in the [[land of Nehor]] and restored his father to the throne. His father then granted the kingdom to Shule to raise in his stead. Corihors sons, [[Noah, son of Corihor]] and [[Cohor]] rebelled against Shule and their father, eventually capturing the land of their first inheritance. Then, in a later battle, Shule himself was captured. As he was about to be put to death, however, Shules sons were able to break into the house of Noah, slay him, and get their father. Noahs son, [[Cohor, the son of Noah|Cohor]] took control of the Noahs' kingdom and attacked Shules' kingdom in which Cohors' army was defeated Cohor himself slain. Shule once again became leader over all the [[Jaredites]]. Shule spent the later part of his life in bringing his people to repentance.[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ether/7] Towards the end of his life, he conferred the kingdom on [[Omer]], his son.[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ether/8]

Shule is also noted in the genealogy of Ether listed in the first chapter of the [[Book of Ether]] as being the father of [[Omer]] and the son of [[Kib]].[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ether/1]
