The myth Enmesharra's Defeat describes a conflict between Enmesharra and Marduk, as well as its aftermath. It also features Nergal as the warden of the eponymous antagonist and his seven sons, here identified as the Sebitti. In the surviving fragments, Enmesharra unsuccessfully pleads to be spared, and is subsequently escorted to Marduk's dwelling alongside the Sebitti.[53] After reminding him of his unknown crime, Marduk deprives Enmesharra of his luminosity, which is subsequently given to Shamash, and presumably executes him, though the line clarifying his fate is not preserved. The rest of the narrative deals with assigning new domains to various gods, and in addition to Marduk and Nergal also features Nabu, Shamash, Zababa, Sin, Adad, Enlil, Urash and Erimbinatuku, possibly an otherwise unknown epithet of Pabilsag. Marduk, Nergal and Nabu end up sharing lordship over the universe, which seemingly originally belonged to Anu in this composition.
