Ether 14:3-6

Brant Gardner

Even though Moroni is highlighting aspects of the final wars of the Jaredites in order to link them to the destruction of the Nephites, there are clear differences between the two sets of events. Jaredite wars are always indicated as family affairs. The winds of change blew frequently, and there were different people rising to the throne during the lifetime of a single man (in this case Coriantumr): he was the king, he was then taken captive, he once again became king, and finally he was defeated with an army in exile. That pattern differs from anything we have seen in the Nephite record.
