Undaunted, Yarikh presents a lavish brideprice to Nikkal-and-Ib's family and the two are wed.
Yarikh and marries him after Yarikh arranges a brideprice with Khirkhib and pays it to her parents.
Her father tried to dissuade Yarikh by suggesting two of Baal's daughters instead.
Yarikh offered a generous brideprice to Khirkhib of necklaces of lapis-lazuli, ten thousand gold pieces, and one thousand silver pieces, saying, "I shall send gems of lapis-lazuli, I shall make her fields into vineyards, and the field of her love into orchards." Khirkhib relented, and soon Nikkal and Yarikh were married.
Yarikh is the provider of nightly dew, and his dew causes Nikkal's orchards to bloom in the desert.
