The Rebu captives had gained the respect of the troops who escorted them by their manly bearing and the absence of the manifestations of grief which were betrayed by most of the other captives. The regiment was composed of Libyan mercenaries, hardy, active men, inured alike to heat and fatigue.
But he is really the son of a king, and as his father is dead he will be king himself when he gets back to his own country." "And Jethro is one of the same people, is he not?" Ruth asked. "Oh, yes! they are both Rebu. I think Jethro was one of the king's warriors." "That accounts," Ruth said, "for what has often puzzled me.

At full speed the Egyptian chariots dashed down the declivity to the causeway. This was the signal for the Rebu archers to draw their bows, and in an instant confusion was spread among the first line of chariots. The horses wounded by the missiles plunged madly. Many, stepping between the fagots, fell.
The night was a dark one, and all night long the Rebu continued to shower down missiles upon their invisible foe, of whose continued presence they were assured by the sounds which from time to time were heard. When daylight enabled the defenders to see what was going on at the foot of their walls they raised a shout of surprise and dismay.
