Before the death of Kalaiopuu he gave an injunction to the boys, Kiwalao and Kamehameha,3 and to all the chiefs, thus: “Boys, listen, both of you. The heir to the kingdom of Hawaii nei, comprising the three divisions of land, Kau, Kona and Kohala, shall be the chief Kiwalao. He is the heir to the lands. As regarding you, Kamehameha, there is no land or property for you; but your land and your endowment shall be the god Kaili. If, during life, your lord4 should molest you, take possession of the kingdom; but if the molestation be on your part, you will be deprived of the god.” These words of Kalaiopuu were fulfilled in the days of their youth, and his injunction was realized.
