Note 16 — PREFACE. (continued 6)
Reading edition
When Kalaepuni saw how strong Kalaehina, his brother, was, he said: “My younger brother, we are indeed fortunate because of our great strength. I have become king of Hawaii through my great strength, now I think it well of you to go to Maui and kill all the offspring of the chiefs of that island so that you can reign16 in place of Kamalalawalu.” Kalaehina agreed to this request of his brother. At the close of the kapu days set apart for the sacrifices of the temple in Hawaii he set sail for Maui.
