Gilead is a character from the Book of Mormon. In the Book of Ether he is known for seeking revenge against Coriantumr for the murder of his brother Shared. Shared had overthrown Coriantumr, only to lose his throne to the sons of Coriantumr. Now free, Coriantumr battled Shared in an extremely long battle until finally Shared was slain by Coriantumr. Two years after Shareds death, Gilead again raised an army against Coriantumr and fought him until he was forced to flee to the Wilderness of Akish. Coriantumr pursued him there until a battle commenced between the two, killing thousands on both sides. Gilead seized the upper hand, however, when he attacked Coriantumrs army at night while they were asleep and drunk. With the weakening of his army, Coriantumr was unable to stop Gilead from coming into the capital of the land, Moron, and sit upon his own throne. While there, Gilead continued to add to his army, as did Coriantumr, in preparations for another battle. It would not happen, however, as Gilead was murdered by his high priest on account of the secret combinations that had prevailed in the land. He was succeeded by Lib, who would obtain the position through secret combinations and convenants.
