Notes
"Strange as it may seem, the people of Zarahemla had also been in the New World for almost the same length of time as the Nephites but had not come in contact with them before... The had been led to the New World by Mulek, reported to be a son of Zedekiah. However, the Bible informs us that all of Zedekiah's sons were killed in front of him (Jeremiah 39:6). Since Zedekiah would have been about thirty-two at the time he was overthrown (Jer. 52:1), one wonders how he would have had a son old enough to lead a band of people to the New World?" -Jerald and Sandra Tanner, Joseph Smith's Plagiarism of the Bible in the Book of Mormon, p. 166.
