Hill Comron

Hill Comron, in the vicinity of the Valley of Shurr, is noted in the Book of Mormon as the location where Coriantumr, a Jaredite leader, rallied his forces in a bold military maneuver. Positioned upon Hill Comron, he sounded a trumpet as a challenge to the forces of his adversary, Shiz, inviting them to engage in combat (Ether 14:28). This area became a decisive battleground for the Jaredite nation. The strategic placement of Coriantumr’s armies on the hilltop underscores the tactical importance of the location in ancient warfare. Subsequent to the call to battle, a series of fierce clashes occurred between the armies of Coriantumr and Shiz, culminating in a grievous wounding of Coriantumr, leaving him so severely injured that he was presumed dead (Ether 14:28-30). The events at Hill Comron illustrate the turmoil and violent conflict that characterized the final period of Jaredite civilization.
