A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nimrod
NIMROD. An early Jaredite prince, the son of Cohor. In his days the kingdom was a divided one, Shule reigning over one portion and Cohor over the other. Cohor, desiring to obtain undivided dominion, gave battle to Shule, was defeated and slain. Nimrod, recognizing the superior rights of Shule surrendered the region his father had ruled over to that monarch. For this act and for his faithful allegiance, Nimrod found favor in the eyes of Shule, and he had authority given him to do "according to his desires" in the latter's kingdom. (Ether, 7: 22.)
