코호어²

Cohor, a significant figure in the early Jaredite history, was the son of Noah, who was himself a son of Corihor and a grandson of Kib, a previous ruler among the Jaredites. Cohor inherited a portion of the Jaredite kingdom from his father, establishing his own rule separate from that of Shule, the King who governed the other half of the divided kingdom. This division of territory stemmed from familial contentions and a succession of power struggles that punctuated the early Jaredite governance (Ether 7:20).

However, Cohor’s reign was marked by conflict as he sought to expand his dominion by challenging Shule. The confrontation ended tragically for Cohor, as he was defeated and slain by Shule in battle (Ether 7:21). After Cohor’s death, his son, Nimrod, succeeded him but subsequently abdicated the throne in favor of Shule. In an act that strived for peace and perhaps favor in the eyes of the then monarch, Nimrod surrendered the kingdom that his father Cohor had ruled, ceasing division among the Jaredites (Ether 7:22). Through this act of conceding power, Nimrod secured an amicable relationship with Shule and received privileges for his compliance, allowing Shule to reunify the kingdom under his righteous leadership.
