Difference between revisions of "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. Corihor's sons, [[Noah, son of Corihor|Noah]] and [[Cohor, son of Corihor|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, Shule's sons were able to break into the house of Noah, slay him, and get their father. Noah's son, [[Cohor, the son of Noah|Cohor]] took control of Noah's kingdom and attacked Shule's kingdom in which Cohor's 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.  He gave power to the prophets so they could go wheresoever they would (and he caused judgment to be executed against all those who reviled against the prophets); by this means the people were brought unto repentence, "and there were no more wars in the days of Shule".[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]
