Ether 10:29-31

Brant Gardner

The unusual practice of keeping a royal line in captivity is underscored in these verses where it is no longer just the deposed king, but an entire lineage, that is kept captive. All of these names appear in the genealogy in these verses, but only Hearthom and Com became rulers. The others were captives throughout their lives. That is at least four generations that lived in captivity before that will change with Com.
