The article discusses the identity of Second Nephi. The character of Nephi from the Book of Mormon is discussed, noting that he became a leader in his family relatively early in life, he was a prophet, and he was the leader of the ancient Nephites. His reign as King of the Nephites is discussed, noting that it lasted 25 years and that his successor was simply known as "Second Nephi." The possibility that Nephi's brother Sam's son may have been Second Nephi is discussed, noting that if that is the case, then Sam's descendants would have accounted for all the successive kings of the Nephites until the time of the Judges.
