Huzālu and Nabu, part 2

Text

“Huzālu, a young priest of the god Nabu, decided to heed his ruler’s request. Hammurabi looked at the small man in front of him – and as the courtiers laughed, pointing at Huzālu’s weak calves, the king raised his hand, demanding silence. In his wisdom, he saw something in the priest’s eyes and accepted him as the royal messenger.”
