Kim is a character in the Book of Mormon's Book of Ether. He is known for being a wicked leader over the Jaredites. During his reign, his brother rebelled against him and overthrew his kingdom. He was placed in captivity to live out the remainder of his days. While there, he had another son Levi, who would ultimately overthrow the kingdom and reign over the Jaredites. Kim would not live to see this happen, however. He died in captivity soon after Levi was born.[1]

He is noted in the genealogy of Ether listed in the first chapter of the Book of Ether as being the father of Levi and the son of Morianton.[2]
