The Jaredite Chronology – Part II

Continued from the previous post, regarding the last half of this assumptive chronology of the Jaredites.
1365 - The people rise up in rebellion against Riplakish, killing him in the battles. Riplakish’s descendants driven out of the land;
1347 - After many years, a descendant of Riplakish named Morianton, about 30 years of age, wars on the people, capturing many cities, and over the space of many years conquers the land;
1337 - Morianton establishes himself king. He eases the people’s tax burden and they anoint him their king at about the age of 40. Morianton builds many cities and the people become rich under his rule;
1250 - Morianton’s son, Kim, becomes king 8 years before his father’s death;
1242 - Morianton lives to an exceeding great age, and dies when about 130 years
1222 - Kim’s brother battles Kim and captures him and places Kim into captivity where he remained all his days, bearing sons and daughters. One of his sons was Levi .
1177 - Levi serves in captivity for 42 years after Kim dies;
1135 - Levi, at the age of 42, wars against the king and defeats him, obtaining for himself the kingdom and becoming king, living to a good old age
1092 - Corom, Levi’s son, is anointed king, and lives to about the age of 80 ;
1032 - Kish, Corom’s son, is anointed king;
1012 - Lib, Kish’s son, is anointed king.
In Lib’s day, the poisonous serpents were destroyed, and the king hunted in the Land Southward and becomes a great hunter.
A city is built near the Narrow Neck of Land. The Land Southward preserved as a wilderness for game and hunting
The people covered all the Land Northward;
972 - Lib dies and his son, Hearthom is anointed king;
948 - Hearthom loses the kingdom after reigning 24 years. He spends the rest of his days in captivity;
932 - Hearthom’s son, Heth, lives in captivity all his days;
907 - Heth’s son, Aaron, lives in captivity all his days;
882 - Aaron’s son, Amnigaddah, lives in captivity all his days;
857 - Amnigaddah’s son, Coriantum, lives in captivity all his days;
832 - Coriantum’s son, Com, draws away half the kingdom after him. Com reigns for 42 years over his half of the kingdom, then defeats Amgid, the king, and reigns over the entire kingdom
Robbers again are in the land, and the ancient secret combinations are revived;
742 - Com’s son, Shiblom, anointed king and in his days great evil came into the land. The people rebelled, killed Shiblolm and placed his son, Seth, into captivity
712 - Seth’s son, Ahah, reigned as king over the people all his days, and “few were his days”;
702 - Etham, the son of Ahah, made king;
682 - Moron, the son of Etham, made king;
662 - In Moron’s day, the people rebelled, and a mighty man, a descendant of the brother of Jared, defeated Moron and obtained the kingdom, placing Moron into captivity all his days;642 Moron’s son, Coriantor, dwelt in captivity all his days;
622 Ether, probably around 40, the son of Coriantor, becomes prophet (and the author of the Book of Ether), and lives in the days of Coriantumr, probably about 30, who is king over all the land;
597 Lehi leaves Jerusalem during King Zedekiah’s first year as King7
592 Ether, about 60, is cast out for preaching, and dwells in the cavity of a rock during the final great battles and the last war among the Jaredites;
590 - Ether told to prophesy unto Coriantumr, that unless he repented, another people would receive the land of promise for their inheritance and Coriantumr should receive a burial by them, and every soul should be destroyed save it were Coriantumr;
589 - Coriantumr captured by Shared and placed in captivity;
588 - Coriantumr’s sons defeat Shared in a battle and free Coriantumr. There is war on the face of the entire Land Northward and in one battle Coriantumr kills Shared;
587 Lehi and his family land in the promised land, in the Land Southward along the west seashore
586 - After two years, Gilead, the brother of Shared does battle with Coriantumr, now about 54, defeats part of his Army, and places himself on Coriantumr’s throne in the land of Moron;
584 - Lib, a member of the secret society, murders the man who murdered Gilead, and takes over the throne;
583 - Coriantumr does battle with Lib and kills him, but Shiz, the brother of Lib, gives battle to Coriantumr. In the following battles two million of Coriantumr’s soldiers, plus wives and children, are killed;
582 - Mulek leaves Jerusalem in the 11th year of Zedekiah, king over Judah, when the king was captured by Nebuchadnexxar II (2 Kings 25:2-3)
579 - After a four-year hiatus, while both sides gathered all the remainder of the people to their armies, the final battle takes place, with Coriantumr, now about 58, and Shiz the last  two alive, and Coriantumr kills Shiz;
576 - Ether, now about 70, investigates the remains of the battle and records it. Coriantumr revives from his wounds and wanders for several years, first through the land of his people, seeing the dead bodies strewn across the land where he realizes the word of the Lord delivered to him by Ether, has been fulfilled, then through the narrow neck of land and into the Land Southward, eventually arriving in the Land of Zarahemla;
568 - Coriantumr, at the age of about 69, in ill health and near death, is discovered by the people of Zarahemla (the descendants of Mulek) who bring him into the city they had built, where Coriantumr, unable to communicate in his language with the Mulekites, carves a history of his people on a rock;
567 - After nine months in Zarahemla (Omni 1:21), and about 12 years after the final Jaredite battle, and living long enough “to see the fulfilling of the prophecies which had been spoken concerning another people receiving the land for their inheritance,” Coriantumr dies, probably about the age of 70, and “receives a burial by them” (Ether 13:21).
    It seems obvious that Coriantumr’s death was the result, in part, from his many wounds, from years of exposure, and undoubtedly of remorse and a broken heart for the evil he had done and the destruction he brought upon his people. The Lord allowed him to live long enough to wander his homeland and dwell upon the death and annihilation of his people, and to reach the home of the Mulekites, so the prophecies of Ether could be fulfilled.
    Based on biblical dating, we know that the Jaredites left Mesopotamia in the year 2116 B.C., and arrived in the land of promise about 8 years later, with the final battle that wiped them out occurring around 567 B.C., meaning their nation lasted 1550 years, 1541 of those years in the land of promise. By comparison, the Western Roman Empire lasted 500 years, and the Eastern Roman Empire lasted 1400 years; the Nephite nation lasted about 1000 years; the Lamanites lasted in various forms from about 550 B.C. to about 1521 A.D., or over 2000 years; England, under various royal lines, has lasted about 943 years, not counting the earlier period before the Conquest.
    Once again, these dates are assumptive, but based on the events and timing given in the Book of Ether.
