Difference between revisions of "Plains of Heshlon"

The '''Plains of Heshlon''' are a geographical location in the [[Book of Mormon]]. In the [[Book of Ether]], the plains were a battlefield that waring factions of [[Jaredites]] fought on. The battle started in the [[Valley of Gilgal]] when [[Coriantumr]] led his armies in battle against [[Shared]]. Shared had overthrown Cortiantumr as king and place him in captivity. Coriantumr's sons, however, overthrew Shared and freed their father. Upon being freed, Coriantumr gathered his armies and pursued Shared until he was able to take him on in battle. After three days of fighting, Shared and his armies fled to the '''Plains of Heshlon.''' Coriantumr pursued them until the battle again commenced on the plains. Shareds armies rebelled Coriantumr and sent his armies retreating back the the valley of Gilgal. Shared pursued him, only to be slain by Coriantumr in battle.[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ether/13/28#28]
