<P> Gilgamesh and Enkidu enter the gloriously beautiful Cedar Forest and begin to cut down the trees . Hearing the sound , Humbaba comes roaring up to them and warns them off . Enkidu shouts at Humbaba that the two of them are much stronger than the demon , but Humbaba , who knows Gilgamesh is a king , taunts the king for taking orders from a nobody like Enkidu . Turning his face into a hideous mask , Humbaba begins to threaten the pair , and Gilgamesh runs and hides . Enkidu shouts at Gilgamesh , inspiring him with courage , and Gilgamesh appears from hiding and the two begin their epic battle with Humbaba . Shamash intrudes on the battle , helping the pair , and Humbaba is defeated . On his knees , with Gilgamesh 's sword at his throat , Humbaba begs for his life and offers Gilgamesh all the trees in the forest and his eternal servitude . While Gilgamesh is thinking this over , Enkidu intervenes , telling Gilgamesh to kill Humbaba before any of the gods arrive and stop him from doing so . Should he kill Humbaba , he will achieve widespread fame for all the times to come . Gilgamesh , with a great sweep of his sword , removes Humbaba 's head . But before he dies , Humbaba screams out a curse on Enkidu : `` Of you two , may Enkidu not live the longer , may Enkidu not find any peace in this world ! '' Soon later Enkidu becomes sick and dies . </P>
