He Saw the Son of Righteousness
The first king among the Jaredites was Orihah, the son (presumably the youngest) of Jared. He was a righteous king, and his son Kib took over the kingdom after him. He spent some of his life in captivity due to his wicked son Corihor, but when Kib was old he begat Shule. Shule was righteous and eventually regained the kingdom. Shule “did execute judgment in righteousness all his days” and eventually he passed along the kingdom to his son Omer, a great-great- grandson of Jared (Ether 7:27). Omer’s life was filled with challenges due to his son Jared’s rebellion and his granddaughter’s plot to kill him. But Omer was righteous like his father, and the Lord preserved his life by having him flee with the part of his family who was not trying to kill him. In his absence the kingdom passed to Jared and then to Akish (who murdered Jared, his father-in-law), but eventually it essentially disappeared as the wickedness of Akish and his sons caused nearly the entire destruction of the people.
