What is "mulek"

According to the Book of Mormon, Mulek 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. These people are commonly referred to simply as "Mulekites".

The Mulekites are one of four groups (including the Nephites, Lamanites, and Jaredites) to have settled in the ancient Americas according to the Book of Mormon.
