weapons, and trees let me give." 40 B.--"To _Dudu_(187) my Lord my father thus (says) _Aziru_ your son your servant: at the feet of my father I bow. Lo! let _Dudu_ send the wishes of my Lord ... and I ... Moreover behold thou shalt not reject (me) my father, and whatever are the wishes of _Dudu_ my father, send, and will not I ... Behold thou art my father and my Lord: I am thy son: the land of the Amorites is your land; and my house is your house.(188) Say what you wish and I will truly perform your wishes." The latter part is broken, but states that he will not rebel against the wishes of the King or those of Dudu. 38 B.--"To _Dudu_ my Lord my father thus _Aziru_ thy servant. At my lord's feet I bow. _Khatib_ will march, and has carefully followed the messages (or orders) of the King my Lord before (he goes); and what is good increases; and I have been gladdened very much; and my brethren, men serving the King my Lord, and men who are servants of _Dudu_ my Lord. They had feared exceedingly. Behold he will march, to command for the King my Lord with me. From the orders of my Lord my God and my Sun, and from the orders of _Dudu_ my Lord, I will never depart. My Lord now _Khatib_ goes forth with me, and also he will march to strengthen me. My Lord, the King of the land of the _Hittites_ will march from the land of _Marhasse_ (_Mer'ash_), and has he not boasted to meet me? and the King of the _Hittites_ will rebel, and behold I and _Khatib_ will march. Let the King my Lord hear my messages. I have feared without the countenance of the King my Lord, and without the countenance of _Dudu_; and now (my Gods and my messenger(189)). And truly these are my brethren--_Dudu_ and the great men of the King my Lord; and truly I will march; and since O _Dudu_ both the King my Lord and the chiefs thus are ready, everything against _Aziru_ is forgiven which has been unfavorable for my God,(190) and for us. And now I and _Khatib_ have appeared servants of the King. Truly thou knowest _Dudu_, behold I go forth mightily." 31 B.--"To _Khai_(191) my brother thus (says) this thy brother _Aziru_. With thee (be) peace indeed, and from the Egyptian soldiers of the King my Lord there is much safety. Whoever (is) against it the promise remains, in sight of the King my Lord; being formerly promised it remains. I and my sons and my brethren are all servants of the King: it is good for me. Now I and _Khatib_ will both march, behold, with speed.
