Like the rising sun he shines.

This is the greeting from Bel Tarbasi[530] and the assembled gods.

The god Ashur himself now addresses the king:

As for those enemies that plot against thee, that force thee to march out,

Thou didst open thy mouth [saying], "Verily I implore Ashur."

I have heard thy cry.

Out of the great gate of heaven I proclaim aloud,

'Surely I will hasten to let fire devour them.

Thou shall stand among them.

In front of thee I shall rise up.[531]
