Shared is a character from the
Book of Mormon. In the
Book of Ether, Shared is known for raising a rebellion against
Coriantumr, king over the
Jaredites. Shared briefly succeeded in bringing
Coriantumr into captivity, but was soon overthrown by the sons of
Coriantumr. Restored to the throne,
Coriantumr pursued Shared with a vengeance, and brought his forces to battle against him in the
Valley of Gilgal. The battle lasted three days, until Shared was forced to flee to the
plains of Heshlon.
Coriantumr again battled him there, until Shared achieved the upper hand, and
Coriantumr was forced to flee back to the valley of Gilgal. Shared again brought his army to battle, only to meet his demise in the valley. His army was defeated, and Shared was slain by
Coriantumr.
[1] His brother,
Gilead, would later overthrow
Coriantumr and continue the battle that Shared began.
