Die Jareditenzeit

Die Gefangenschaft von Hearthom, Heth, Aaron, Amnigaddah, Coriantum und Com

Ether 10:30

Hearthom folgt seinem Vater als König nach, wird jedoch gestürzt und gefangen genommen.

And it came to pass that Hearthom reigned in the stead of his father. And when Hearthom had reigned twenty and four years, behold, the kingdom was taken away from him. And he served many years in captivity, yea, even all the remainder of his days.

Ether 10:31

Der Sohn von Hearthom, Heth, der Sohn von Heth, Aaron, der Sohn von Aaron, Amnigaddah, und der Sohn von Amnigaddah, Coriantum, leben alle als Gefangene; Coriantum hat einen Sohn namens Com.

And he begat Heth, and Heth lived in captivity all his days. And Heth begat Aaron, and Aaron dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Amnigaddah, and Amnigaddah also dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Coriantum, and Coriantum dwelt in captivity all his days; and he begat Com.

Ether 10:32

Com gelingt es, die Hälfte des Königreichs zurückzugewinnen; dann führt er Krieg gegen den rivalisierenden König Amgid und ist erfolgreich darin, das gesamte Königreich zu erobern.

And it came to pass that Com drew away the half of the kingdom. And he reigned over the half of the kingdom forty and two years; and he went to battle against the king, Amgid, and they fought for the space of many years, during which time Com gained power over Amgid, and obtained power over the remainder of the kingdom.

Ether 10:33–34

Die geheime Organisation der Vergangenheit taucht wieder auf, trotz der Bemühungen von Com, diese zu bekämpfen.

And in the days of Com there began to be robbers in the land; and they adopted the old plans, and administered oaths after the manner of the ancients, and sought again to destroy the kingdom. Now Com did fight against them much; nevertheless, he did not prevail against them.

Ether 11:1–4

Viele Propheten treten hervor und warnen vor den geheimen Gesellschaften des Bösen; die Propheten gehen auch eine direkte Verbindung zu Com ein, der gesegnet ist, und einen Sohn namens Schiblom hat.

And there came also in the days of Com many prophets, and prophesied of the destruction of that great people except they should repent, and turn unto the Lord, and forsake their murders and wickedness. And it came to pass that the prophets were rejected by the people, and they fled unto Com for protection, for the people sought to destroy them. And they prophesied unto Com many things; and he was blessed in all the remainder of his days. And he lived to a good old age, and begat Shiblom; and Shiblom reigned in his stead.
