One might wonder why it would be necessary for the sons and daughters of Omer to attack Jared2 "by night" (Ether 8:5). Was the battle was so fierce and so long that it continued into the night? Or was this a battle fully waged during the night? If Omer "was in captivity the half of his days" and "begat sons and daughters, among whom were Esrom and Coriantumr" (Ether 8:4), then these sons and daughters had apparently been raised in captivity in the land of Heth. But from where did Esrom and Coriantumr recruit their troops? Did they return to the local land of Moron to rally their troops and then come "by night" from the land of Moron to the land of Heth? Or were the troops rallied right under the nose of Jared2 and utilized in a dark-of-night "coup" in the land of Heth? The text does not specifically say. The text does say that they were about to slay Jared, "and he plead with them that they would not slay him, and he would give up the kingdom unto his father. And it came to pass that they did grant unto him his life" (Ether 8:6). [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
