“Mulek”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Mulek was the son of Zedekiah, king of Judea, who was preserved when the rest of his brothers were slain by the king of Babylon (see 2 Kings 25:7). It is quite probable that because of his lineage Mulek was appointed the king of the wandering colony of which he was a part. Through this colony the blood of Judah was destined to be mixed with the blood of Joseph in the Americas.
