Ether 11
I wonder what the prophets prophesied to Com. The people rejected them but Com protected them. He was busy fighting against secret combinations which were robbing and murdering within his kingdom but was not prevailing (probably because his people were not also fighting against them). What would these prophets have been prophesying to him? All we are told is that he was blessed the remainder of his days but that he did not prevail against the robbers.
Com anointed Shiblom to succeed him but the brother of Shiblom rebelled against Shiblom and sided with the people against the prophets. Shiblom maintained his rule but from this point on the Jaredites experience nothing but a cursed land and wars until they are all destroyed.
