To the king, my Lord and my God and Sun, thus speaks Biridiya, the loyal servant of the king: At the feet of the king, my Lord and my God and Sun, seven times and seven times I prostrate myself.
May the king know that since the archers have gone back, Lab'ayu carries out acts of hostility against me, and that we cannot shear the wool, and that we cannot pass through the gate in the presence of Lab'ayu, since he knows that you have not given me archers; and now he intends to take Meggido, but the king will protect his city so that Lab'ayu does not seize her. In truth, the city is destroyed by death as a result of pestilence and disease. Grant the king one hundred garrison troops to guard the city, lest Lab'ayu take it. Certainly, Lab'ayu has no another intention. He tries to destroy Meggido.
