Zagan came to the aid of Eisheth, raising his pike to skewer Gabriel, as he deemed the nephil to be the leader. But he took an arrow under his raised arm from Jabez and was unhorsed.

Josiah drew his blade across Zagan's neck under his chin and he bled out. Many stones were in the air striking the protected flanks of the horses and len, but one thrown by Abner was guided by Remiel into the eye of the steed ridden by Onoskelis. In pain the horse collided with Eisheth's mount and both len were whisked unwilling from the field.

Jemuel's tent was overturned in yet another failed attempt to find the Ark. There were ten remaining and the nest of hornets was quite furious now. Belphegor still had no inkling that Remiel was guiding projectiles at him with a tiny fold-door temporarily under his control.

Orobas braced his pike against his saddle. he was so intent on skewering Abner that he was caught off-guard when the pole seemed to slide forward on its own power out of his hands and into the air, missing Abner by inches. Orobas withdrew his sword to defend himself.

Belphegor guessed the Laelites must have hidden the Ark in their most homely tent in a clever play of operational deception. He assailed Asher's tent with a pike but came up with nothing.

The air in the clearing grew thicker with arrows and stones. A rock hurled by Tobiah was guided by Remiel into the face of Danjal, a mercenary from Eniph, striking with enough force to make him unconscious. He fell at the feet of Josiah, who let out his life's blood.

With three dead and two missing Belphegor had enough. The thong of a stickywhip curled around the legs of Elam, the human Belphegor had seen standing outside the Tent of Meeting with the B'nei Elohim. The whip's thong adhered to itself. Elam was dragged behind Belphegor's horse as his tormentor bent the handle around his saddlehorn.

Malphas signaled with a banner and the five surviving len began to ride east. Another stickywhip wrapped around Elam and he was lifted from the ground suspended between the horses of Belphegor and Orobas. The men of the Remnant began to run after them to save their chieftain.

Gabriel sounded hez horn to capture their attention and shouted, "Hold! You'll never catch them! Protect the Ark of God!"
