Jaredite kings

Jared Kings are a series of monarchs purported to exist according to the Book of Mormon. As death was approaching Jared and his brother, they gathered together the people to ask them what they desired of them before they died. The people then requested that they anoint one of their sons as king. This was grievous to them, and the brother of Jared remarked that "surely this thing lead the to captivity." But Jared asked him to allow it and asked which son they would have.

The people chose Pagag, the brother of Jared's firstborn. He refused. The people then wished to force him to be king but the brother of Jared would not allow that. They suggested his sons, Jacom, Gilgah, and Mahah, but they refused to be king. Then, Orihah, the fourth son, agreed to be king. This started the Monarchy of the Jaredite nation.
