I always imagined that there were times for the Jaredites when kings ruled over righteous people but I realized today that this was only the case with the first king, Orihah. Starting with his son, either the king was wicked or during his rule someone sought to usurp his throne (often resulting in the king being taken captive at least temporarily). I’ll watch to see if there are other exceptions but the myth of starting with a couple of good generations is shattered. While Kib, the son of Orihah, seems to have been good himself, he was still taken into captivity by one of his sons for a time.
