“Brother of Shiblom Caused All the Prophets Be Put to Death”

Brant Gardner

The prosperity of Com’s reign ends in the next generation. Com had seized his throne by war; now two brothers contend for the throne in another intrafamily contest. Predictably, Shiblom’s rebel brother is not named. He is apparently a complete apostate since he not only fails to respect the prophets but also puts them to death.
