Mulek (/ˈmjuːlɛk/),[1] according to the Book of Mormon, was the only surviving son of Zedekiah, the last King of Judah, after the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem.
The Book of Mormon states that after escaping from Judah, Mulek traveled to the Americas and established a civilization there.
[3][4] Along with "as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord," Mulek escaped into the wilderness, traveled "across the great waters" to the Americas, and founded a new nation.
[7] When the Nephites were commanded to leave their historic homeland of Lehi-Nephi to flee from the Lamanites, the exiled remnants discovered the city of Zarahemla, to their north.
The Book of Mormon records that the Mulekites spoke a language that was largely unintelligible to the Nephites.
