Jared is a character in the Book of Mormon. Jared was a Jaredites who rebelled against his father Omer, the king of the Jaredites. After leaving his fathers kingdom, Jared went to the Land of Heth. There he raised an army of dissenters which he used to overthrow his father and take the kingdom for himself. His father was placed in captivity, where he raised Esrom and Coriantumr. These two raised an army and overthrew the brothers kingdom. With the battle lost and fearing for his life, Jared gave up the throne once again to his father.
